Content Focus:
Early Stage 1 of the Physical World strand focuses on the physical characteristics of objects and the effects of these on how they move. This Early Stage 1 strand allows students to investigate how push and pull forces create movement and introduces the fundamental concepts of force and motion.
Skills Focus:
Working Scientifically
Questioning and predicting
|
Design and Production
Identifying and defining

Inquiry and Focus Questions:
What causes objects to move in different ways?
Students:
- rolling
- spinning
- bouncing
- changes in shape, e.g stretching, breaking
- observe the way a variety of familiar objects move, for example
- rolling
- spinning
- bouncing
- observe the effects of push and pull forces on familiar objects, for example
- changes in shape, e.g stretching, breaking
- participate in guided investigations to explore how particular objects move on land, water and/or in the air, and how these objects are affected by forces
