Water resistance is a force that tries to slow things down that are moving through water. It is a type of friction and sometimes called drag.
In this lesson, students will learn what water resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about streamlining and how we make things streamlined in order to reduce water resistance. They will also learn about upthrust and how this enables boats to float. They will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding.
They will then carry out an experiment to investigate how the shape of aluminum foil affects how it behaves in water. The experiment worksheet is provided as well as an explanation into the reasons behind this.
