This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on falling objects and air resistance. Children test how quickly objects with a different weight fall using a fair test.

The file includes the following resources:
- editable teaching presentation
- editable investigation sheet
- editable investigation scaffold
- editable lesson plan
- editable focus assessment worksheet

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
identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces

The working scientifically enquiry type will be: Testing
Children will be:
•        Planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables
•        Taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate
•        Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs
•        Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships
