The Power of Forces

This worksheet has been designed for students to record their observations as they complete various push and pull experiments. Students will identify the force that they use and will record their observations after changing the power of the force they use.

Use in conjunction with the experiments that are suggested in Lesson 4 of the Push and Pull unit.

VCSIS054 Compare observations and predictions with those of others VCSIS052 Use informal measurements in the collection and recording of observations VCSIS055 Represent and communicate observations and ideas about changes in objects and events in a variety of ways VCSSU048 The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape VCSIS051 Participate in guided investigations, including making observations using the senses, to explore and answer questions

Australian Curriculum covers QLD / SA / WA / NT / TAS / ACT.

Differentiation

Modifications

Some students may need adult assistance with scribing their observations.
 

Extensions

Students can design their own push or pull experiment.
