Exploring Science Y9 Project for 9I Forces and motion – Independent Learning

Purpose:
• To introduce students to the basic principles of forces and motion
• To encourage experimentation, observation, and critical thinking skills
• To understand the relationship between forces and motion, and how they affect the movement of objects.
• To understand the practical applications of forces and motion in everyday life and in various fields of engineering.
• To show the application of physics in simple machine.

A research project to give students before embarking upon the unit, or to run along-side the unit as independent learning. Although this was designed for those studying the Exploring Science curriculum, they can be used alongside other curriculums also.

Giving the pupils this project before teaching the unit can help them gain a better understanding of the material and can help them become more engaged in the learning process. It can also help them develop critical thinking skills and can help them become more independent learners.

Bundle available for Year 9– available for all units.
