Learning Lesson: A Pressing Engagement
Pupils complete experiments in which they discover the effect of the weight of the air above them. They use different weights of paper to complete the experiment. They also examine thunderstorm safety.
Curated OER
Wig-wag Physics
Learners make observations on the effects of a small, medium and large weight on the movement of a wig-wag apparatus. They use their observations to develop a generalized inference of the effect weight on movement patterns.
