Content Focus:
Stage 2 of the Physical World strand focuses on light, heat and electrical energy and how contact forces affect the behaviour of objects. Stage 2 of this strand develops their understanding of energy as a resource that can be generated and transferred. They investigate the interdependent relationship between energy and forces that affects the behaviour of objects. Students observe how energy and forces are used in the manufacture of products and in systems.
Skills Focus:
Working Scientifically
Planning and conducting investigations
|
Design and Production
Identifying and defining
