Assess abilities in investigating, describing and testing the effects of air and water resistance and friction on a range of different objects and materials

Identify, describe and compare the best liquids that can be used to reduce the amount of friction that can occur between two surface materials

Investigate and record how to design and test a special type of object that utilises the effects of air resistance to move effectively through the air

Practise devising an application or a special device that can use the force of friction in the everyday world to solve a specific type of problem

Explore how to plan and conduct an investigation to test some different ideas and concepts about how friction works in the world

Explain and model how to plan and conduct an investigation to explore and measure the link between the force of friction and the speed of objects

Investigate how to conduct and present measurement results from an investigation to explore the link between the force of friction and mass

Practise using forcemeters to measure and record the force that is required to move objects made from different materials over a range of surfaces

Identify, describe and compare some of the different uses of the force of friction that can be utilised in the everyday world to complete a range of functions
