In case you haven’t yet played the friction game that I posted a while back, click here to play it! Can you tell me which surface, out of the different ones available, has the least amount of friction?
I can’t wait for next term to begin as, throughout the term, we are going to be taking part in lots of science investigations and are going to be learning about forces, friction and gravity. Below I’ve written some information and posted some links to learning games to help you start to learn about these important words.
A force is: a push or a pull that causes something to speed up or slow down. As an example, I could push you on your skates to start you moving - we would say that the push that I gave you is a force.
Friction is: a force that slows down or stops an object from moving. If I gave you a push on your skates, if you were not to push yourself along the ground using your feet, you would come to a stop after a few seconds. This is because friction between the wheels of your skates and the ground stops you from moving - the ground slows you down.
Gravity is: the force that makes things fall to the ground. Learn more by clicking here.
Below are some learning games for you to experiment with.
Have fun!
Click here to visit the National Geographic Kids video website that I showed you on Friday. There are loads of great videos to watch on this website - make sure that you click on the ‘More’ link so that you can see all of the videos that are available.
Click here to have a play around with the bones website that I used with you today in science. The quiz that we completed is called ‘Boney or Boneless’, but have a look at the other quizzes too.
Have a great weekend guys - and well done for working so well today!

For a sticker, can you tell me the main difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Have a great weekend!

I really enjoyed the work that we completed last week on solids and liquids - if you are interested in learning more about these, click here to explore the BBC Schools ‘Solids and liquids’ simulation program. This simulation allows you to heat and cool different objects and also test your knowledge with a quiz. Enjoy!
