Gravity, Friction and Simple Machines

This Year 5 course explains why things fall, what slows them down and how simple machines help us lift and move heavy loads. Children learn about gravity and weight in newtons, air resistance, water resistance and friction, and how levers, pulleys and gears let a smaller force have a bigger effect.
