| Physics Lessons for
Grades 6 - 11 |
Comets:
Learn about Comets.
|
Circuit Diagrams:
Learn how to draw simple circuits and the symbols used to represent them.
|
Electric Current:
Learn that current is the flow of electricity around a circuit and that the greater the resistance of the circuit, the less current flows.
|
Friction:
Find out how frictional forces, including air resistance, can affect the motion of an object.
|
Mass, Weight and Gravity:
Learn that the weight of an object on Earth is the result of the gravitational attraction between its mass and that of the Earth, and know that weight is a force so is measured in Newtons.
|
Pivots and Levers:
Learn that forces can cause objects to turn about a pivot and that the turning effect of a lever depends on the force and its distance from the pivot.
|
Refraction:
Learn about refraction of light and know some examples.
|
Series and Parallel Circuits:
Learn how to design and construct series and parallel circuits, and understand the differences between them
|
Unbalanced Forces:
Learn that unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of movement of objects and that balanced forces produce no change in the movement of an object.
|
What Forces Do:
Learn what forces can do and how to measure them.

Resources for Grades 6 - 11 |
Forces:
Learn what forces can do and how to measure them.
|
Gravity:
Learn that gravity is a force of attraction which acts on Earth
towards the centre of the planet, and that the size of the force of gravity
depends on the mass of each object and the distance between them. |

Learn how to work out the speed of a moving object and understand
how to make calculations using the relationship between speed, distance and
time.
|
