Starter Children hand out Science books Q&A

Print LI and remember to LI To understand the principles of gravity and force and their practical application in a pulley system. Remember to Stay safe the coat hanger edges are sharp Measure force (weight) in Newtons Make sure your pully can lift your object Use at least 50 cm of string Explain Activity / refer LI How did the Greeks build their buildings? How did they move the heavy stones? How did the Egyptians build their pyramids How did they get the stones up? By pulling Q & A to assess for prior knowledge. Use the answers to support other children. Link to prior learning

Main Activity (theory)

Main Activity Science So what is a pull? It is a force The weight of an object is the force caused by gravity pulling it down. We measure it in Newtons. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/science/ph ysical_processes/forces/read/3/ Be aware There may be confusion between Weight and Mass. Activity In order to move an object we must apply the same force as gravity. How much force do I need to lift the following objects? Show document Table for results ... NOTE Ensure children are reading NEWTONS not grams Enter information in to the table. Discuss findings So how did this help the Greeks? Introduce Archimedes He was a great mathematician and engineer, he invented the pulley system. Archimedes had stated in a letter to King Hieron that he could move any weight with pulleys; he boasted that given enough pulleys he could move the world! The king challenged him to move a large ship in his

Watching, listening, Q & A. Children give examples of push / pull ACTIVITY Children use the Newton meters to measure how much force there is on an object NOTE Ensure children are reading NEWTONS not grams One object per table, children moving round a table at a time Write findings in a simple table in Science books. Title How much force is needed to move these objects? Object Fish food Book Mobile Phone An apple Tennis ball Whiteboard pen bucket Force

Open verbal questioning to evaluate level of understanding. Evidence of understanding, application and synthesis will be observed through the activity and children using the right measure (Newtons) Children moving table by table to measure force using a Newton meter TA/ INA helping less able children Verbal questioning of individual children and 1 to 1 support will also provide assessment information. Formative assessment of written work in books will also show understanding / progress and highlight areas of misunderstanding..

Children complete the table

arsenal, a ship that would take many men and great labour to move to the sea. On the appointed day, the ship was loaded with many passengers and a full cargo, and all watched to see if Archimedes could do what he said. He sat a distance away from the ship, pulled on his rope and pulled the ship along "as smoothly and evenly as if she had been in the sea." So how did he do it? He used his understanding of force and realised that he could use a pulley system. We are going to make our own pulley systems to help us understand how they work. 40 minutes Practical task Children understand safety rules Children listening and watching Children create their own pulley systems. Children will work in pairs to help test the pulley but each child will make their own pulley. Children will gather their equipment from 2 children at the back. Children test their pulleys using a number of objects Any silly behaviour will result in writing out times tables for the rest of the lesson. DT Using a broom, kitchen roll holder, some string, a bucket, and an object such as a book. Demonstrate the principles of a pulley. Model how the children are going to make their pulleys. Display the instructions on the IWB Differentiation: SEN (TA Miss Noble) To build a simple pulley with support from peers/ adults Callum will need 1 to 1 support as he is Teacher demo of making and using a pulley SAFETY The coat hanger edges will be sharp.

Evidence of understanding, application and synthesis will be observed through the activity and childrens ability to build the pulley. Verbal questioning of individual children and 1 to 1 support will also provide assessment information. Teaching and support staff deployed as per differentiation Teacher (FB) moving around the class and observing to assess progress on a whole class observation sheet.. Formative assessment of written work in books will also show understanding / progress and highlight areas of misunderstanding for improvement.

reluctant to participate and may say he cant do it. He can work with his TA/INA as his partner. The more able children will be encouraged to help the less able in constructing their pulley. Achieving: Level 2 / 3 (Miss Sinclair or Mrs Martin or Mrs Phillips) To build a simple pulley and think about how it could be used to move heavy objects. Working beyond: Level 4 and above To build a simple pulley and experiment using loops. Suggest ways it could be used to move heavy objects. CHILDREN MAY NOT FINISH THE ACTIVITY CONTINUE TOMORROW Bring the class back together 10 minutes Plenary: Recap of main ideas Children show and talk about their pulley and what they found out. Q&A Children add comment re LI I can .... Plenary

Teacher (FB). Supporting groups/individuals as necessary

Teacher directing questions to individuals Q & A Show and tell about their pulley How do forces help / hinder our movement of objects What other things affect the weight we can lift? Strength of rope, Connection to bucket Strength of bucket The rod the pulley is attached to

Evidence of understanding, application and synthesis will be observed through Q & A. Use assessment to inform Science APP? http://www.tes.co.uk/Resourc eDetail.aspx?storyCode=60994 45
