Flying into Physics
These six Year 5 'Forces' lesson plans are linked to three videos produced by Scarabeus Aerial Theatre. The videos introduce pupils to the forces of gravity, friction and air resistance, and to the use of pulleys and levers. The videos show the impact of these forces on the work of the aerial artists.
The Year 5 'Forces' topic and these resources are an excellent opportunity to invite STEM Ambassadors to speak to pupils about the importance of forces and mechanisms in their work. Information about how to access STEM Ambassadors can be found in this presentation (PDF).
