Air Resistance and Friction Explained KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the causes and effects of air resistance and friction with animated PowerPoints which:
demonstrate air resistance as resulting from collisions between the front of an object and air particles;
demonstrate how friction is caused by collisions between “bumps” in sliding surfaces and slows them down and produces heat;
demonstrate why streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster;
provide a visual explanation of the relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work.
The three practicals investigate:
the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface.
the relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance
do streamlined objects travel faster in water?
What’s Covered
Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
How lubricants reduce friction
Air resistance results from collisions between the front of an object and air particles.
Steady speed.
Air resistance wastes energy and slows moving objects

Force, Weight & Mass KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to forces and an explanation of the relationship between mass and weight.
What’s Covered
Force is a pull or a push with examples.
Arrows indicate the direction of force.
Contact and non-contact forces explained and examples
Forces can change an objects speed, direction or shape
The Newton and newtonmeter.
Real-life examples of forces.
All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object.
The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre.
Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place.
Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independent of position.
Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass.
Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg.
Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter.
Practical
The first simple practical gives pupils experience in reading scales as they find the weight of their pencil case and other items provided by the teacher. (selection of different objects and different size newtonmeters needed)
The second practical introduces an element of fun and competition by using a bathroom scales calibrated in Newtons (an ordinary bathroom scales can be used but multiply the reading in kilograms by 10) to find the person with the strongest grip in the class (photograph of how to do this shown on the PowerPoint)

Friction produces heat.
Lubricants, such as oil, reduce friction.
Friction is useful when it provides grip.
Friction is not useful when it slows things down and wastes energy.
Friction is a force and is measured in Newtons (N).
Air resistance is caused when the front of a moving object collides with air particles.
Air resistance slows an object down, produces heat and wastes energy.
Objects with a large surface area produce high air resistance.
Streamlined shapes have low air resistance.
A parachute has a large surface area and high air resistance.

Understand a force to be a pull or a push measured in Newtons (N).
Examples of contact and non- contact forces.
Forces change the speed, direction or shape of an object.
All objects attract other objects and the bigger the object the bugger the attraction.
The Earth’s attraction is called gravity which acts towards its centre and keeps its atmosphere in place and has a value of 10N/Kg.
Mass is the amount of material in a body and is measured in kilograms (Kg).
Gravity acts on a body’s mass and gives it weight which is measured in Newtons (N).
The Moon’s gravity is on-sixth that of Earth and Jupiter is 2.5 times.
