About this title

Synopsis

This title supports the following learning objectives for Key Stage 2 Science. Students should be taught to: Notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance; observe how magnets attract or repel. Compare and group everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet. Describe magnets as having two poles and predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing. Explain that objects fall towards Earth because of gravity. Identify the effects of resistance and friction. Recognise that levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect. Each book in this series of 10 gives students the chance to work scientifically: 1. Ask questions and use scientific enquiries and evidence to answer them 2. Set up simple practical enquiries and tests 3. Make observations, take measurements, use scientific equipment 4. Gather, record, classify and present data using scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams and charts 5. Use results to draw conclusions, make predictions and ask new questions. This series is supported with free downloadable teacher resources and worksheets.
