  1. O.L.O. • To recap on our forces work from last week. • To be able to draw conclusions from last week’s experiment. • To learn about another force that acts in air. • To understand how the area of a piece of paper affects how quickly it falls.

  2. Forces Recap What do we remember from last week?

  3. A force in water • What is the name of the force that slows down objects sinking in water? • What is the name of the force that acts downwards on the sinking object?

  4. Water resistance in action… • When we jump into a swimming pool, it is water resistance that prevents us from hitting the bottom. • How can we make ourselves get to the bottom of the pool in the fastest time? Why?

  5. In the pool… • Have ever tried ‘running’ through water at the shallow end of the swimming pool? What is it like? Why? • Water resistance is the force which is responsible for making it difficult for us to move though the water.

  6. Surface area and Stream Lining… • The greater the surface area of the object, the more resistance it will get from the water. • If we spread our body out as we jump in the pool it will hit more water molecules. • The amount of water resistance pushing against him is great. • The swimmer will sink to the bottom of the pool much more slowly.

  7. Streamlined… • If we dive neatly into the water less water will hit us and we will get to the bottom of the pool faster. • We are in a streamlined position. • If we turned sideways we move through the water quicker. • A big splash (belly flop) more resistance… • A little splash (tight dive) less resistance…

  8. More streamlining • A float helps swimmers. Have you noticed how hard it is to swim if you stand the float up? • Swimmers can wear special suits made of lycra that help reduce the amount of water resistance. • The amount of W.R.on a dolphin, fish and boat are quite small – they are streamlined and can ‘cut through’ the water easier.

  9. What do our results tell us? • Which shape took the longest amount of time to sink to the bottom? Why? • Which shape took the shortest amount of time to sink to the bottom? Why? • Were your results what you expected? • You could try different liquids e.g. syrup

  10. Results and Conclusions • The shape which looked this ------------- took the longest time to sink. This is because it was w-----and therefore created a lot of water resistance. • The shape which looked like this -------took the shortest time to sink. It has less surface area. • The w------- the shape the s-------- it sinks.

  11. A force in air • What do we call the force that acts in air? • What does this force do to objects? • What is the name of the force acting in the opposite direction – downwards?

  12. Air Resistance • Air resistance is the force that pushes against a moving objects as they pass through the air. • It can act upwards and sideways. Give an example. • Like water resistance, it is a type of friction. • Air resistance slows you / objects down as they try to move through the air.

  13. Air resistance in action • Can you think of situations when you have experienced air resistance? • Riding your bike… how can you reduce the air resistance. • Running around in the playground…on what type of day is air resistance greater? • Riding downhill on a sledge… how can you make yourself go faster?

  14. More real life examples… • A water slide at a swimming pool or a slide in an adventure playground • A parachute… what happens when you open the parachute? Why is a parachute so large? • A dragster… Why does it need a parachute?

  15. Class experiments… • The running race… • Parachute games…keep it moving; swop places and cat and mouse.

  16. Predicting and Fair Testing • Which piece of paper will take the longest time to hit the ground? Why? • Which piece of paper will take the shortest time to hit the ground? Why? • What will be the one factor we will be changing? • What will we keep the same?

  17. Its your turn… • In 3s you are going to find out which size piece of paper takes the longest to fall. • You will need to give each other jobs. • Repeat 3 times and record your results. • Find something to stand on on the field.

  18. What do our results tell us? • Which piece of paper took the longest amount of time to hit the ground? Why? • Which piece of paper took the shortest amount of time to hit the ground? Why? • Were your results what you expected?

  19. Results and Conclusions • The g--------the area of the paper the f---- it falls to the ground. This is because there was more -------------. • The s------ the area of the paper the s---- it falls to the ground. This is because there was more -----------. • With a parachute, the w----- the canopy the s-----it falls to the ground.
