152102 - Upper KS2 High Ability

Précis

The on-site task allows students to explore the effects of friction on movement and find out how it slows or stops moving objects. They will identify the effects of friction that act between moving surfaces. The post-visit task will provide opportunities for Working Scientifically. Students will make a model go-kart and use it to investigate the force needed to move it over different surfaces.
