Based on the Australian Curriculum, Physical sciences in Science Year 4 includes:
A worksheet used to check the students’ knowledge of forces.
A science experiment which investigates the relationship between multiple forces acting on a single object in various ways.
A science experiment which investigates rolling friction and the properties of various materials and shapes.
A teaching presentation introducing the students to magnetism as a non-contact force.
A worksheet for recording data about magnetic flux lines observed in a classroom demonstration.
A teaching presentation introducing the students to the non-contact force of electrostatics.
A teaching presentation introducing the students to the different types of force.
A worksheet for the students to identify the types of force which are active in a variety of situations.
A teaching presentation in which the students investigate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples' knowledge and use of physics.
A teaching presentation in which the students observe qualitatively how speed is affected by the size of a force.
A teaching presentation investigating the effect of contact and non-contact forces on the movement of objects in traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s instructive toys and games.
A science investigation in which the students investigate how to use thrust force to increase the speed of a model car.
A science activity that demonstrates some properties and effects of motion.
Magnets word wall vocabulary cards to expand your students' science vocabulary.
A three-page assessment for the lower grades, covering common push and pull forces.
Theme your cork boards with these Forces and Motion Cork Board Borders.
Fifty-seven forces and motion-related vocabulary cards for a word wall.
Use this poster when learning about forces and motion.
This science demonstration video takes a close look at electrostatic force.
This Physical Sciences unit investigates contact and non-contact forces. Demonstrations and experimental procedures are explored with particular attention given to the scientific method.
A 60 minute lesson in which students are introduced to the different types of force.
A 60 minute lesson designed to investigate the relationship between force and the resulting speed of an object.
A 60 minute lesson to investigate physical sciences from the perspective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
A 60 minute lesson in which the students investigate various forces which come into play in traditional sports and games of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
A 60 minute lesson in which the students investigate magnetism and the properties of its associated force.
A 60 minute lesson in which the students investigate the forces involved in throwing, dropping, bouncing, and rolling, and how they affect an object.
An assessment task in which students will demonstrate an understanding of contact and non-contact forces.
A 60 minute lesson in which the students investigate how moving objects in different ways affects the strength of friction force.
A 60 minute lesson in which the students investigate electrostatics and the properties of its associated force.
