Description
This unit explores speed, forces, and motion, including effects on objects. It covers deriving equations, calculations, and distance-time graphs. Learn to use force arrows, identify balanced and unbalanced forces, and understand their impact on movement.
This unit builds on pupils’ prior learning from Rocks and soils, where they explored the formation and classification of rocks and the composition of soils. It deepens their understanding by examining Earth's resources, including how these materials are used and the importance of sustainable management. This prepares pupils for the next unit, Carbon cycle and climate change, where they will apply their knowledge to understand the role of Earth's resources in global cycles and the impact of human activity on climate, reinforcing the need for responsible resource use.
