How can I use this with my class?

Through these interactive activities, your students can explore air resistance and build on their practical science skills. In this lesson, students first watch an animation to introduce them to air resistance. After, they can apply their knowledge using real-world examples as part of the air resistance worksheet.

Your class can be guided through an online interactive experiment where they explore experimental design through the world of spinners. Students can go on to complete the experiment themselves, collating test results in a table, forming a conclusion, and explaining their data.

Download the resources below and come back here when you’re ready to use the animation.
