This resource is for students in key stage 3. They will travel on the ferry to the Isle of Wight, where they will carry out various tasks on board. The resource relates to the ‘Forces’ part of the science curriculum at this key stage, where students identify the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on a ferry. Students will complete force diagrams on board the ferry. They will think about all the forces which act upon the boat.
This resource is for students in key stage 3.
They will travel on the ferry to the Isle of Wight, where they will carry out various tasks on board.
The resource relates to the ‘Forces’ part of the science curriculum at this key stage, where students identify the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on a ferry.
Students will complete force diagrams on board the ferry. They will think about all the forces which act upon the boat.
Basic forces knowledge input before the journey and/or post visit follow up could be to investigate the dimensions of the ferries, leading to altering ferry design or sea defences to decrease wind forces acting on the ferries. „ Students could also look into tidal energy and marine environments around the ferry harbours.
To understand about forces and how they affect stationary or moving objects. To construct force diagrams. To calculate the resultant force. (Higher only)
