Lesson 1 - Gravity
Lesson 2 - Friction
Lesson 3 - Air resistance
Lesson 4 - Water resistance
Lessons and worksheets for investigations that covers gravity, friction, air resistance and water resistance. Adaptable but provides opportunities to think scientifically and learn with a practical aspect.
Please note - lessons are in Smart Notebook format and I have provided a PDF version. Worksheets are in PDF format.
Resources are required for the experiments but I found most things were available across school.
Experiments can be conducted in groups or as a class.
Lesson 1 - dropping two objects to see which hits the ground first (We used two bottles with different amounts of liquid).
Lesson 2 - using pull back cars (or could use marbles, etc) and different surfaces to see the impact of friction
Lesson 3 - Egg drop challenge making parachutes using knowledge of air resistance
Lesson 4 - water resistance using a tub or water and creating shapes out of plasticine to see what has the most/least air resistance.
There is enough content in each lesson to last an afternoon, to split over two lessons (input then experiment) or to condense into one lesson.
