Science
‘Forces’ will be our science topic for the first half term.
Our main 'Working Scientifically' objectives include: observing and measuring, setting up tests, interpreting and communicating results, asking questions, and making careful and accurate predictions.
Our main 'Knowledge' objectives are to:
- explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity
- describe the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction
- recognise some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears
Throughout the year, we will be using a practical approach to learning, completing investigations and experiments to answer scientific questions. We will be developing our understanding of the five enquiry types which will help us acquire new knowledge.
Working Scientifically
Alongside the five scientific enquiries, we will continue to develop our working scientifically skills. These skills help us to understand the processess which make up an enquiry.
