Giving water a lift
Students will investigate the use of pulleys (simple mechanical systems) that can reduce the effort required to haul water from a well.
Students will design a simple pulley system to assist in lifting water from a well.

The Science of Cycling
The Science of Cycling is the second in a series of three planned sports science resources. These sites focus on the science behind popular spectator and recreational sports.
While the Science of Cycling is a large Web site (there are over 20 pages in six main sections, 20 audio and video clips, interactive javascripts, and lots of images), it is really only an introduction to an enormous and fascinating topic.

Forces and motion
http://www.digitalbrain.com/digitalbrain/web/subjects/1.%20primary/ks1sci/su4/mod2/
Forces and motion
Everyday we push and pull things. To get into your classroom you may have to push a door open. To get into a classroom tray you may have to pull it out. To climb a climbing frame or rope you may have to pull yourself up. To get a toy car to move along the floor you have to push it.
Pushing and pulling are examples of forces. In this Unit, you will be looking at pushing, pulling and other types of forces. To really understand them you will need to try out some of the exciting experiments from the websites you visit. You will be amazed at what forces can do and how important they are in our lives!

Forces and movement (2e)
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/science/sci2e/?view=get
The work in this unit extends children's understanding of how pushes and pulls affect the movement and shape of objects. Experimental and investigative work focuses on: -thinking about what is expected to happen -making measurements -recording and presenting results and deciding whether the results support the prediction -deciding whether comparisons are fair. Children also have opportunities to relate science to the ways in which familiar objects move. This unit takes approximately 7 hours.
