Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is a type of friction.
In this lesson, students will learn what air resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about Galileo Galilei who first investigated air resistance and how without air, objects with the same mass will fall at the same rate. They will learn about streamlining in order to minimise surface area and they will complete a quiz mid-way to check understanding.
They will then carry out two experiments- 1) paper drop test 2) investigating how the size of a canopy affects the rate of a parachute’s decent.
Sheets are provided for the experiments along with an interactive presentation and useful knowledge organiser.

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.

In this lesson students will learn about the adult and late adulthood stages of the human life cycle. They will learn that adults are fully developed and stop growing before looking in detail at how as humans age, many of the body systems gradually decline leading to the changes we see in elderly people.
They will be given detailed information about these changes which they will read and complete related questions. Finally, they will complete a true or false quiz to assess their understanding.
A knowledge organiser for Animals including Humans is included.

In this lesson students will work towards the objective: use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.
They will first learn about how our understanding of day and night has changed over time before understanding the science behind the suns ‘apparent’ movement across the sky. They will also learn how sundials work before explaining what they have learnt on the activity sheet. They will then learn about the seasons and the science behind the concentration of the sun’s energy on the Earth’s surface. They will be taught how this links to time zones and again will explain their understanding through the activity sheet.
The engaging presentation- with links to online video clips and the activity sheets are all provided. A knowledge organiser for Earth & Space is also included.

In this lesson, students will learn about thermal conductors and insulators. They will learn what materials are thermally conductive and how they are used to help us e.g. radiators. They will look at how the particles behave in thermally conductive materials and using a thermocolour sheet will carry out tests on various materials.
They will also learn about thermal insulators and again will look at how they are used to help us e.g. flasks. They will plan and carry out an experiment testing which material is best to use to insulate hot water and, using the experiment proforma sheet, will record their results and analyse their findings.
