This differentiated science lesson focuses on gravity. Children will plan a fair test to answer the question- do objects fall at the same rate? They will conduct their investigations and then draw conclusions from their results. The file contains the following resources:
-an editable lesson plan
- an editable presentation
- editable differentiated conclusion write up sheet
- editable fair test planning sheet
-editable pre-assessment sheet
- editable challenge activity
- editable next step activity
 
National curriculum objectives:
Science: Year 5
Pupils should be taught to explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object.
When working scientifically, children should be taught to plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary. Take measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate. Record data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs.
