INVESTIGATING FORCE AND ENERGY YEAR 6

Force and Energy

1.1.1 State push and pull are forces 1.2.1 Force can move a stationary object

1.1 Understanding that push and pull are forces

FORCE

1.2 Understanding the effects of a force

1.1.2 State that force cannot be seen but its effects can be observed

1.2.2 Force can change the motion of an object 1.2.3 Force can change the shape of an object

1. Definition 2. Effects

FRICTION

3. Ways to reduce/increase

5. Design a fair test

4. Advantages and disadvantages

FRICTION definition Is a type of force (slows down a moving object)

Effects Causes wear and tear
Ways

Produce heat

Opposes motion

reduce

increase

Advantages
Handlings objects Movements Sharpening knives Lighting matches

Disadvantages
Wear and tear Heat Slow down movements

Designing a fair test

INVESTIGATING FORCE AND ENERGY

FORCE

1. State that friction is a type of force 2. Describe the effects of friction 3. Describe ways to reduce friction

1.3 Analysing friction

8. Design a fair test to find out how different types of surfaces affect the distance a trolley moves (variables)

4. Describe ways to increase friction 5. State the advantages of friction 6. State the disadvantages of friction 7. Conclude that friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact

A measurement of how fast an object moves

Speed = Distance / Time (Unit of speed : m/s, km/h)

State what SPEED is Problem solving

Understandi ng Speed

Which object moves faster? An object which moves faster travels a longer distance in a given time An object that moves faster takes a shorter time to travel a given distance

INVESTIGATING MATERIAL YEAR 6

THEME: INVESTIGATING MATERIAL

FOOD SPOILAGE
what -Food cannot be eaten -Food unsafe to eat

importants FOOD PRESERVATION

Identify
Food spoilt Characteristic -unpleasant smell --unpleasant taste --changed colour --changed texture --mouldy Reason Why -The food will last longer -The food is easy to store -To reduce wastage of food -Slow down the growth of microorganisms. -Retain freshness

microorganism can spoil food

State the condition for microorganisms to grow

-Air -Water -Nutrient -Suitable temperature -Suitable acidity
