Learners will distinguish between contact and non-contact forces, and investigate the specific effects of gravity and friction on the motion of objects.
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
use provided scaffolds to plan and conduct investigations to answer questions or test predictions, including identifying the elements of fair tests, and considering the safe use of materials and equipment
