Module 3: Science – energy and movement
Section 1 : Everyday forces - investigating movement
Key Focus Question: How can we find out and build on pupils’ ideas about forces?
Keywords: force; investigation; brainstorming; floating; games; friction
By the end of this section, you will have:
- used different methods to find out pupils’ ideas about forces around them;
- considered how to record your own and pupils’ learning in this topic;
- supported your pupils to do investigations in small groups.
The most obvious thing about our world is the amount of movement that is happening almost all the time. What powerful natural forces drive this movement? What is force, and how do we explain its effects? How do we make use of forces to make life easier or better?
Here we look at different ways to find out how pupils make sense of everyday forces. As their teacher, your challenge is to help them explore and assess possible explanations for how forces cause changes.

Jambo la kushangaza zaidi kuhusu ulimwengu wetu ni kiasi cha harakati ambazo hufanyika karibu wakati wote. Ni nguvu gani za asili zinazosababisha mwendo huo? Nguvu ni nini, na tunawezaje kueleza matokeo yake? Tunatumiaje nguvu ili kufanya maisha yawe rahisi au bora? Hapa tunaangalia njia tofauti za kujua jinsi wanafunzi wanavyoelewa nguvu za kila siku. Kama mwalimu wao, changamoto yako ni kuwasaidia kuchunguza na kutathmini maelezo ya uwezekano wa jinsi nguvu husababisha mabadiliko. 1.
