Learning goals
- We are learning to describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system.
- We are learning to investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system.
- We are learning to identify how forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance.
