Water Resistance - Objectives Labels is part of the lesson Water Resistance    Students will learn about water resistance as part of their learning about forces, as specified by the national curriculum in England: science programmes of study.

<p>Lesson 5.4 on Water Resistance sets clear objectives for students to understand and explore the dynamics of forces acting on moving objects. The lesson's primary goal is for students to identify the impact of air resistance, water resistance, and friction - all of which are forces that occur between surfaces in motion. By the end of the lesson, students are expected to articulate what water resistance is, explain its effects on objects moving through water, and propose methods to decrease water resistance. This knowledge acquisition is assessed through targeted questions that encourage students to reflect on and verbalise their understanding of the concepts taught.</p>

<p>Throughout the lesson, students will engage in activities designed to deepen their comprehension of how water resistance operates and how it can be modified. By examining the effects of water resistance alongside air resistance and friction, learners will develop a holistic view of the forces at play when objects travel through different mediums. The interactive nature of the lesson, which includes answering specific questions, aims to ensure that students can not only recognise water resistance but also apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios by suggesting practical ways to reduce it.</p>

Water Resistance - Presentation

<p>This lesson focuses on the concept of water resistance, its effects on moving objects, and ways to reduce it. Students will learn about the forces that act between moving surfaces and how they affect the movement of objects. The students will be introduced to the influential scientists who have studied water resistance and friction, and will be taught about the differences between water resistance and friction. </p> <p>The lesson is divided into three activities: making and testing boats, watercraft shape research, and the quickest submarine. In the first activity, students will create different boat shapes and measure the water resistance using a force meter. In the second activity, students will research the shapes of different watercraft and compare them with ancient and modern watercraft. In the third activity, students will create submarines and compare their speeds. </p> <h2>Keywords</h2> <ul> <li>Friction</li> <li>Water Resistance</li> <li>Surface Area</li> <li>Decelerate</li> <li>Water Particles</li> <li>Drag</li> <li>Float</li> <li>Sink</li> </ul> <h2>Misconceptions</h2> <ul> <li>Water Resistance is not friction</li> <li>There is no water resistance for floating objects</li> </ul> <p>It is important to note that water resistance is a type of friction, where the particles of an object strike water particles as it moves through air. Also, objects in contact with water still experience water resistance.</p> <h2>Important Lesson Guidance</h2> <p>In this lesson, students will be conducting experiments with water troughs, so it is important to have plenty of paper towels ready. The cleanup procedure for the water trough experiments is described in the lesson plan, but if students forget to place their troughs on the corner of the table, they will need to use a jug as a scoop instead.</p>
