Lesson idea. Outline of an investigation into the action of air resistance on an airplane’s wings followed by some ideas on an alternative context in which to set the experiment (gliding animals).
Teaching approach. This activity supports these learning types:
- small group work(ta) - groups conduct an investigation and report back to the class.
- whole class(ta) dialogue(ta) - they discuss open-ended questions(ta): why did this happen? what do you think causes this movement?
- peer assessment(ta) – do peers agree?
- project work – the activity connects with others in this OER on forces, with literacy and numeracy and with topic work in design and technology.
- inquiry(ta)-based learning – an initial presentation to the class can be framed as a problem to solve; children work collaboratively (co-enquiry)
- arguing and reasoning(ta) – children persuade each other about their explanations.
- exploring ideas – the activity develops understanding of key scientific principles.
