3 free forces & motion resources for Year 6: 3 worksheets. Answers included.
Pushes and pulls, friction, gravity and simple machines. Year 6 consolidates primary maths: operations with fractions and decimals, percentages, integers, order of operations and probability.
Students will practise: naming common forces and describing what they do; identifying balanced and unbalanced forces; calculating the net force from forces acting in a straight line; predicting how unbalanced forces change motion; explaining motion using force diagrams; identifying magnetic and non-magnetic materials; predicting whether magnetic poles attract or repel; explaining magnetism as a non-contact force.
Printable practice with an answer sheet.
