A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the cause and effects of friction with examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production. Students plan an investigation into the relationship between the roughness of a surface and the friction it produces. A set of results is provided for students to draw a conclusion should apparatus not be available. This fully resourced topic comes with an engaging animated PowerPoint and a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. A one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires.
What’s Covered
- Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
- Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
- Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
- Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
- How lubricants reduce friction
What’s Included

Air Resistance and Friction Explained KS3
Two comprehensive and enjoyable lessons explaining friction and air resistance for middle school science students studying forces. Each fully resourced topic comes with an engaging animated PowerPoint and a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. For each lesson a one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires. The PowerPoints also support students through planning and designing results tables for three labs to investigate: * the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface. * the relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance * do streamlined objects travel faster in water? A set of results is provided for each lab so that students can draw a conclusion should apparatus not be available. **What’s Covered** * Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N). * Friction increases with the roughness of the surface. * Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps” (sometimes microscopic) as surfaces slide over each other. * Collisions slow things down and produce heat. * How lubricants reduce friction * Air resistance results from collisions between the front of an object and air particles. * Air resistance wastes energy and slows moving objects * The relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work. Streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster; **What’s Included** * Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz (x2) * Answer PowerPoints to make self and peer assessment easy * Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) (x2) * Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) * Foldable (x2) * Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes) (x2) * Worksheet to support the PowerPoints (x2) * Fact sheet (x2) * Homework plus answers (x6) * Fact share worksheet (x2) * 24 Taboo cards * Pupil progress self-assessment checklist (x2) * Exit Ticket All resources shown in these bundle are also available individually [Forces Module 1 - Force, Weight & Mass, Friction, Balanced & Unba](/teaching-resource/forces-module-for-ks3-12181872) [Forces Module 2 - Moments, Speed, Pressure & Hooke's Law](http:///teaching-resource/forces-module-pressure-moments-speed-and-hooke-s-law-for-ks3-12230644) [The Complete Forces Module ( Module 2 + Module 2)](http:///teaching-resource/forces-the-complete-module-for-ks3-12230655) [7 Game Compendium for Module 1](http:///teaching-resource/forces-7-game-compendium-ks3-12188002) [6 Game Compendium for Module 2](http:///teaching-resource/forces-compendium-of-6-games-on-moments-pressure-speed-and-hooke-s-law-ks3-12234703) [Forces - 13 Game Compendium ](http:///teaching-resource/forces-13-game-compendium-12237683) Why not have a look at my shop?

Forces Five Fully Resourced Topics Plus Interactive Smart Board Quiz KS3
What is a Force, Weight and Mass, What is Friction, Air Resistance, Balanced and Unbalanced Forces are all explained in these five action-packed, fully resourced and engaging lessons. **What You Get** **For Each Lesson** * Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz and all answers to classwork and homework) * Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) * Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) * Foldable (students use to make their own notes) * Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes) * Guided notes to support the PowerPoint (x4) * Fact sheet * Homework (x2) plus answers * Fact share worksheet * Pupil progress self-assessment checklist * Exit Ticket * PowerPoint with answers /detailed mark schemes for homework/classwork sheets- pupils can self-assess or peer assess. * An easy to follow one-page flow chart lesson plan indicates where logical choices between resources can be made if required. **For Team Quest** * This is an animated 68 slide animated quiz for teams to be used at the end of the five topics to consolidate learning. * Each team will attempt their own three questions, the answer to each of which must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round. * Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a fact or process. * There are three lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed fact or process.. Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear. * Individual Rounds >One unscramble and identify round which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. >Memory Test – give coordinates of magnets which have moved around a grid >Finally, the fifteen - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.

Forces - What is Friction? - Classroom , Distance and Blended Learning for KS3
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. The classroom resource consists of an animated 15 - slide PowerPoint and 10 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 49 - slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher.
