Inquiry

Inquiry – Forces

This term our science inquiry will focus on Forces and the laws of Motion. Students will explore how non-contact forces are similar to contact forces in terms of objects pushing and pulling another object. They will investigate the effect of forces on the behaviour of an object through different actions, for example, throwing, dropping, bouncing and rolling

Alongside this, students will engage with simple machines such as pulleys, magnets, and levers. Using Lego Technics, they will conduct hands-on experiments to see these concepts in action. To conclude the unit, students will collaborate on an exciting group project to design and create a Rube Goldberg Machine, applying their knowledge of forces and simple machines in a creative way.
