Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Why do cars have a top speed?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Cars have a top speed because: - As they get faster they hit more air particles (harder) - When the car hits the particles the particles hit the car causing drag - The thrust from the engine force is constant - When the drag balances the engine force there is no resultant force - So no acceleration - So car travels at a constant (top) speed
  2. Engines and motors produce a force called Thrust.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Thrust: A force from an engine. (1)
  • Constant speed: An object which is neither accelerating or decelerating. This object may be stationary. (1)
  • Acceleration (1)
  • Drag (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Why do cars have a top speed?
    Cars have a top speed because as a car gets faster the drag increases until it balances the force from the engine.
  2. What is the name of the force produced by an engine or motor?
    Engines and motors produce a force called Thrust.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
