This year we have three learning modules.
Module 1: Forces (Physical World Science)
Key Understandings
I can name and explain force, friction, and gravity
I understand that an object's movement is influenced by a range of contact and non-contact forces.
I know that a force is not an object you can hold, it is an action that is done.
I can name and talk about Newton's 3 laws, and observe them in the world around me.
I understand that observing, questioning, hypothesising, testing, and concluding make up the scientific method of inquiry.
Module 2: Energy - heat, light & sound (Physical World Science)
Module 3: Manaakitanga (Social Science)

Click here to play the game. Explore the laws of motion using a simple fan cart. Use the buttons to select the speed of the fan and the surface, and press Play to begin. You can drag up to three objects onto the fan cart. The speed of the cart is displayed with a speedometer and recorded in a table and a graph.
