This comprehensive curriculum will provide your class with a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of forces, friction, motion, spinning, inertia, and Newton's laws of motion.
Following this 29 minute video, 18 x short form videos & student experiments & activities, your students will be able to:
> Describe that forces can involve a push or a pull.
> Know that to move any object forces needed to be unbalanced.
>Explain that inertia describes two things:
- That an object will stay at rest forever until you push or pull it with enough force.
- That object will keep moving in a straight line forever until another force acts upon it to change its direction or slow it down.
> Detail how friction can be changed by the amount of force between objects and the amount of contact between the objects.
> Know that spinning objects will continue to spin at the same angle until another force acts on it.
> Explain that spinning objects will spin faster if more mass is moved to the centre of the object.
