This is the fifth lesson in a unit of work on Forces which could be adapted for use at KS3 or GCSE. The lesson focus on the nature of friction and its effects along with other drag forces. This is quite a long lesson and includes a practical so it might be a good idea to break it into two shorter lessons.
During this lesson, pupils will:
- Recap knowledge about contact and non-contact forces
- Think about why people slip on ice.
- Learn about friction and its effect on opposing motion.
- Consider situations of low friction such as ice from previous activity.
- Conduct a practical about friction, including identifying variables, writing a hypothesis, graphing results and answering evaluation questions.
- Using pictures to identify different sources of friction in different situations.
- Investigating other drag forces such as air and water resistance.
