Description
A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the cause and effects of friction with examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production. Students plan an investigation into the relationship between the roughness of a surface and the friction it produces. A set of results is provided for students to draw a conclusion should apparatus not be available. This fully resourced topic comes with an engaging animated PowerPoint and a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. A one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires.
What’s Covered
- Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
- Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
- Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
- Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
- How lubricants reduce friction
What’s Included
- Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz
- Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers)
- Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary)
- Foldable
- Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes)
- Worksheet to support the PowerPoint
- Fact sheet
- Homework plus answers (x3)
- Fact share worksheet
- 12 Taboo cards
- Pupil progress self-assessment checklist
- Exit Ticket
- Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources
