Motion and Force at Robin Hill Key Stage 2U Science resource for Robin Hill Adventure Park

Introduction

"Motion and Force at Robin Hill" is a 2-page Science resource for Upper Key Stage 2, linked to Robin Hill Adventure Park

This resource is part of a set of 2 with the following alternate variants:

V105082 - KS2U High Ability

Précis

Students will complete a worksheet that relates different types of forces to the park rides and activity areas. Students will need to identify the types of forces they are seeing around them. After their visit students can practise their ?Working Scientifically? skills by carrying out a practical investigation into ways of reducing friction.

Contextual Summary

This resource is for students in upper key stage 2 and relates to the ?Forces? part of the Science National Curriculum. This on-site task focuses on the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, which act between moving surfaces. The task involves learning about the types of forces experienced whilst taking part in the various activities available at Robin Hill.

Curriculum Relevance

Science → Physics → Forces

Implementation

This is an on-site resource that is designed to be completed during the trip to Robin Hill, as they explore the various rides and activities at the park. Students will complete a worksheet that relates different types of forces to the park rides and activity areas. Students will need to identify the types of forces they are seeing around them. Ideally, teachers will have introduced students to the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction prior to the trip. After their visit students can practise their ?Working Scientifically? skills by carrying out a practical investigation into ways of reducing friction.

Key Skills Practised

Identifying acting forces that affect movement
Working scientifically

Learning Opportunities

Pre-Visit

Students should be introduced to the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction prior to the trip

Post-Visit

After their visit students can practise their ?Working Scientifically? skills by carrying out a practical investigation into ways of reducing friction. Students could use models to investigate which material would be most suitable to use as mats on the Hill Billy Slide.

Learning Outcomes

Students will learn to identify the effects of friction acting between moving surfaces. They will identify the effects of air resistance and water resistance. Students will practise working scientifically by identifying variables and drawing conclusions.
