WEEK 6
WALT explore abstract ideas, using concrete examples and prior knowledge to support our understanding across multiple texts.
WALT understand what makes something fly.
Focus
This week, we will continue looking at Forces and Flight. In particular, we will look at whether the forces that are acting on moving objects on the Earth's surface are the same forces that are acting on a moving object which is flying.
Instructions
1. Read the text, Manu Tukutuku.
2. Complete the tasks for these texts.
