Push Me,Pull You Reviewing the effects of pushes and pulls on the movement and shape of objects Learning objectives Children learn: • that pushes and pulls are examples of forces; • that pushes and pulls can cause objects to move,to stop,to change shape. Learning outcomes Children: • describe what they did using words such astwist,squeeze, stretch,pull out and classify actions as pushes or pulls,e.g.stretching is a pull,squeezing is a push.

Lesson Objective: to explore the effect of magnets on each other and on certain materials. Learning objectives Children learn: • that there are forces between magnets; • that magnets can attract and repel each other,and that ‘attract’ means pull towards and ‘repel’ means push away; • that some metals are attracted to magnets,and that other materials are not; • that magnets have many practical uses. Learning outcomes Children: • given a magnet of unfamiliar shape,or with unlabelled ends, demonstrate how it is attracted to,or repelled by,another magnet; • generalise about what happens when magnets are put near one another or together,using scientific terms,e.g.attract,repel; • classify a range of materials, including metals as magnetic or non-magnetic,and explain how their work enabled them to do this; • make a generalisation about magnetic behaviour,e.g.iron is magnetic but other metals are not; materials that are not metals are not magnetic;only some metals are magnetic.

A review of the topic of forces Taken from LCP Science Resource Files KS2 Learning objectives Children learn/revise: • that pushes and pulls are examples of forces; • that forces are needed to start and stop things and to change their speed and/or direction; • that friction,including air resistance,is a measure of force; • that forces have direction and that they can be measured using a forcemeter; • that the standard unit for measuring force is the newton. Learning outcomes Children: • revisit work on forces from previous years/units. Purpose of the lesson:to review the topic of forces.(This is a quick run-through,to reacquaint the children with the subject,and it is not necessary to go into depth.
