2. Pupils should be taught:

a) about the forces of attraction and repulsion between magnets, and about the forces of attraction between magnets and magnetic materials

 
 
Simulate activities using magnets

b) that objects are pulled downwards because of the gravitational attraction between them and the Earth

c) about friction, including air resistance, as a force that slows moving objects and may prevent objects from starting to move

 

PowerPoint to support learning about friction
 
Use a force meter and string to pull a brick across different surfaces. Use a spreadsheet to graph the results.

 

Use spreadsheet to sort and graph data from an activity to find the best shape of paper aeroplane.

 

Simulate the effects of friction on different surfaces www.bbc.co.uk/schools/scienceclips/ages/8_9

 

Simulate the effects of altering gradient, air resistance etc. www.bbc.co.uk/schools/scienceclips/ages/10_11

 

Explore the suitability of different materials for trainers
