Potential
Students have a visual representation that relates molecular motion to friction. It demonstrates the particles breaking free as the material heats up to melting point which will further assist the students understanding on friction. Description Teacher starts class discussion on unbalanced forces and calls upon students to give examples from their everyday life. The simulation link is provided to the students and they get a chance to play around with it and write down what they think is taking place. As a class, students identify changes that took place when forces where acting on each other |
Stage 4 Outcomes
SC4-10PW describes the action of unbalanced forces in everyday situations Content PW1 Change to an object's motion is caused by unbalanced forces acting on the object. (ACSSU117) Students: a. identify changes that take place when particular forces are acting d. analyse some everyday common situations where friction operates to oppose motion and produce heat |
