Forces

I can describe what forces are and what forces do.

I can identify and describe different kinds of force and their effects.

I can use newton meters to measure forces accurately.

I can draw and label force arrows to accurately represent forces acting.

I can use the idea of resultant force to explain whether a change of speed occurs or not.

I can describe the characteristics of friction forces, explain what causes friction and describe how friction can be reduced.

I can collect data to test the effectiveness of different lubricants, taking steps to ensure a fair test.

I can analyse data from an investigation to test the effectiveness of different lubricants.

I can identify different energy stores that objects have and explain why they have each energy store.

I can identify when stores of energy change, and describe causes of energy transfer between stores.
