Year 4 science students will be looking the way forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct or indirect contact.
Describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system
Identify how forces can be exerted by one object on another and investigate the effect of frictional, gravitational and magnetic forces on the motion of objects
Investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system
Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance
Investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a designed solution
Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance
Questions, plans and conducts scientific investigations, collects and summarises data and communicates using scientific representations
Selects and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Describes the characteristics and effects of common forms of energy, such as light and heat
Describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion
Investigates regular changes caused by interactions between the Earth and the Sun, and changes to the Earth’s surface
