    This unit on forces aims to introduce students to key concepts including push and pull forces, friction, buoyancy, and gravity. Students will explore these forces through investigations of how they work in playground equipment, their effect on object movement, how surfaces impact friction, which objects float, and how air resistance relates to gravity. Lessons incorporate hands-on learning and development of questions and predictions. A design technology project involves creating a toy. The unit assessment evaluates students' understanding of different force types and how forces affect motion.

    Australian Curriculum

    ACSSUO33 – A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape.

    ACSHE034 – Science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects
    and events.

    ACSHE035 – People use science in their daily lives, including when caring for their environment and
    living things.

    ACSIS037 – Pose and respond to questions, and make predictions about familiar objects events.

    ACSIS038 – Participate in guided investigations to explore and answer questions.

    ACSIS040 – Use a range of methods to sort information including drawings and provided tables and
    through discussion with predictions.

    ACSIS041 – Compare observations with those of others.

    ACSIS039 – Use informal measurements to collect and record observations, using digital
    technologies as appropriate
    Unit Outline

    Lesson Learning Intention Curriculum


    1 – Introduction to Forces / To understand what forces are ACSSU033
    Push and Pull and recognise that there are
    different types of forces
    2 – Forces in Play Understand that forces are ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    needed when we play. Identify ACSIS038, ACSIS040, ACSIS041,
    what forces are being used ACSIS042
    3 – The Force of Friction Understand how the force of ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    friction works and how it is ACSIS038, ACSIS041, ACSIS042
    different depending on the
    surface and the weight of the
    object.
    4 – Whatever Floats your Boat Understand “Buoyant Force” ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    and how different object float ACSIS038, ACSIS041, ACSIS042
    when placed in water.
    5 – Gravity To understand what gravity is ACSSUO33, ACSIS037,
    and how objects have their ACSIS038, ACSIS042
    own gravitational pull
    depending on their mass
    6 – Gravity Investigation Part To understand how air ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    One resistance works ACSIS038
    7 – Gravity Investigation Part To use knowledge of air ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    Two resistance to design a ACSIS038
    parachute
    8 - Assessment To assess their knowledge of ACSSU033, ACSIS037,
    forces, the different types and ACSIS038, ACSIS040, ACSIS041,
    they way they work, affecting ACSIS042
    the way things move.
