Get up and Dance!
- Key Stage 1
- 30 – 45 Minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Forces)
- 30 Pupils
Students become DJ’s and learn how cogs and gears work together in this dynamic multi-media learning experience. Make minifigures dance and show off your own awesome moves!
LEARNING AND OBJECTIVES
- Explore how pushing on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion, and start or stop its movement
- Understand that objects push on one another when they touch and that this can change their motion
- Explore how gears of different sizes push each other, which makes them move faster or slower
Push Car Derby
- Key Stage 1
- 30 – 45 Minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Forces and Friction)
- 30 pupils
Build and experiment with push and pull forces to make a car that can be named the push Car Derby champion! Students will get to build a launcher and car while leaning about fair science experiments.
LEARNING AND OBJECTIVES
- Explore and explain how force and friction can change the speed of an object and affect how far it will go in a push car race.
Racing Car
- Key Stage 2
- 30 – 45 Minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Motion and pattern recognition)
- 30 Pupils
Students learn how to build a Starfish Car and a spring powered launching mechanism while learning about variables such as mass and rolling resistance.
LEARNING AND OBJECTIVES
- Customise a race car to explore different variables, like mass and rolling resistance, to see whose car can go the farthest
- Record data and use it to make predictions and recognise patterns
Bobsleigh
- Key Stage 2
- 30 – 45 Minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Gravity)
- 30 Pupils
Take to the mountains and build a bobsleigh and ramp. Students learn about how gravity affects motion and the difference between mass and volume.
LEARNING AND OBJECTIVES
- Explore how gravity affects the motion of bobsleighs based on mass
- Observe a pattern and make predictions
- Understand the difference between mass and volume
Gravity Car Derby
- Key Stage 2
- 30 – 45 Minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Forces and Gravity)
- 30 Pupils
Students explore the effects of unbalanced and balanced forces on a gravity powered car, with a twist - the car has no wheels! Build a ramp and learn about variables such as a fair test and safety.
LEARNING AND OBJECTIVES
- Conduct an investigation to collect evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of a gravity-powered car.
- Design, build and test a safe gravity-powered car
