Which surface will the toy car find it easier to moveover? - Worksheet - Magnets and Forces - Year 3

In a Year 3 science worksheet focusing on magnets and forces, students are presented with an engaging task to determine the order of surfaces a toy car would find easiest to move over. The surfaces listed are pebbles, glass, sandpaper, and wood. Students are required to think critically about the texture and properties of each surface and then sequence them from easiest (1) to hardest (4) for the toy car to traverse. This exercise is designed to help children understand the concept of friction and how different surfaces can affect the movement of objects.

The worksheet also prompts students to delve into the fundamental concept of force. By engaging with this question, children are encouraged to explore the basic principles of physics that govern how objects interact and move. The activity is not only a practical application of their learning but also a test of their analytical skills, with points awarded for correctly identifying the order in which the toy car would most easily move across the surfaces. The worksheet is structured to be completed within a 10-minute timeframe, making it a concise and focused learning experience.
