How do forces work together? Use this activity to
reinforce learning about the forces that act on objects as they move
through air and water, and as they bounce. Students
will make predictions, record and evaluate results and assess the
reliability of the method used to suggest improvements.
This lesson builds on the learning from two other modules on forces; Friction and grip and Drag and lift.
If you haven’t delivered those modules yet, and your students haven’t
had any other lessons on those forces, this activity may be quite
challenging, though definitions of all these forces are included.
