In this lesson, students will work towards the objective: To be able to describe the movement of the moon relative to the Earth.
Students will first learn about satellites and then how the Moon orbits the Earth as the Earth orbits the Sun. Using a variety of objects, they will represent these orbits physically. Following this, they will be tasked to explain their understanding and will finally have a quiz to complete.
The presentation- with links to online video clips and an activity sheet are all provided. A knowledge organiser for Earth & Space is also included.
This lesson is intended for Year 5 students but can easily be modified for all KS2 and KS3 students.

A mechanism is a device which takes an input motion or force, and outputs a different motion and force.
In this lesson, students will learn about different mechanisms such as pulleys, gears and levers. They will see how each works in everyday life and learn the science behind them. They will be asked to identify which mechanism from the images and will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding.
They will then carry out an experiment creating their own levers before designing their own machines using what they have learnt. The activity sheets are provided which guide them through this process.

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.

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.

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
In this lesson, students will learn what friction is and how it affects us. They will look at the factors which influence friction and learn how friction can be helpful and unhelpful. There will be a quick quiz mid-session to check what they have learnt and then they will complete an investigation looking at different materials and the friction they produce.

Gravity or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy, including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.
In this lesson, students will be taught what gravity is and how it affects us and how it is different in space. They will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how weight is different to mass.
They will then carry out two experiments- in the first experiment they will measure objects with scales and a newton meter in order to show the difference between weight and mass. After this, they will compare the mass and speed of falling objects to investigate whether the heavier an object, the faster it falls. Both investigations come with a worksheet to follow.

A force is a push or pull that causes a change in speed, direction or shape. Some forces are affected by speed, other forces are not. All forces come in pairs, no force exists by itself.
In this lesson, students are introduced to what a force is and how the affect us. They look at examples of magnetism, air & water resistance, friction and upthrust. The interactive powerpoint shows how the forces work through diagrams and videos.
The students then complete the activity sheet labelling the forces and drawing their own diagrams.
