This 29 page Year 5 booklet contrasts low and high friction before introducing air resistance and water resistance as forces that slow things down in different places. It sets out the practical questions with a parachute and a canoe paddle, then pulls the unit together with a "What does gravity do?" section. The booklet closes by introducing simple machines as a practical use for everything just learned. Each Year 5 question comes with its own Watch the video button, opening a free Brenda Hayles YouTube lesson, and the unit follows the National Curriculum throughout. Diagrams of levers and pulleys and photographs of forces in action appear throughout, with a vocabulary list at the back.

Inside:

• Six questions, from friction to gravity and simple machines
• A Watch the video button beside each question
• Diagrams of levers and pulleys and photographs of forces
• Terms such as resistance and gravity
