Y5 Understanding Forces – Friction and Gravity

Pupils learn that friction produces grip on moving objects and reduces slipping. They learn that gravity is the force that pulls everything back down to Earth.


Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces
  • NaG - pupils should experience forces that make things begin to move, get faster or slow down
  • WS - pupils should identify scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments
