Science: Friction. How do things move on different surfaces?
This PowerPoint Science lesson can be used as an introduction to studying Friction. Suitable for KS2. Goes well with Year 3 topic on Forces and Magnets.
The lesson introduces Friction in a fun and engaging way! Pupils go on an exploration journey around the school grounds to find the best surface for ice-skating, all wearing their own “skates.” 4 surfaces to test are suggested - grass, tarmac, carpet, linoleum. Children observe themselves "skating" on the surfaces and rate them accordingly.
The lesson has plenty of opportunities for independent learning and exploration.
It comes with an investigation sheet; a template for skates; a number of engaging activities; higher level questions; a debate opportunity, and a quick pair assessment. All text is editable, so that it can be tailored to the needs of your class. The lesson has been tried and tested with very positive feedback from the pupils!
Thank you for your interest.
