Inside and Outside forces acting bottle are equal 

Hot force acting on the inside is greater than the force on the outside 

My Audience

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.

Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist he was  a key figure in the scientific revolution.


He was born in England

Friday Sports

On Fridays we do sports. The sports that we do are Netball,Soccer(football) and Rugby. 

Netball

People play half courts and practice their throwing skills.Older students teach the younger ones the rules and they ref the games as well. Teachers observe the games and students practise shooting as well

Soccer (Football)

The age groups are mixed,Year 7 and Year 8 is together The teams are playing each other  and the teacher isn't making puns 

Rugby

Students practise tackling and kicking the balls high into the air.

Forces

What is a force?

A force is a push or a pull.

What are the different types of forces?

Contact forces 

• Friction 
• Tension 
• Normal
• Air Resistance

Non-Contact forces 

• Gravitational 
• Magnetic 
• Electrical

Push

Push is when you apply force on someone/something to make it move away from you. An example of pushing something is when you push a door open. 

Pull 

Pull is where you apply force to someone/something  and pull it towards you.An example of pull is when you pull a door closed.

Force 

Force is a strength or an energy of a physical action or movement.An example of force is when you kick a football.

Friction 

Friction is the resistance that one surface/object meets when moving over another.An example of friction is when you apply the brakes on your bike or in your car.

Accelerate 

Accelerate is when an object or person speeds up.When you speed up in a car is an example of when you use acceleration.

Gravity 

The force that drags things to the centre of the earth.When a pen is dropped and falls to the ground gravity is dragging it to the centre of the earth.

Air Resistance

Air resistance is the force that slows moving objects down.An example of this is when you jump out of a plane and pull the parachute.The air resistance is slowing you down. 

Balanced Forces 

Balanced forces are two forces that act in different directions. An example of this is when a seesaw is sitting exactly in the middle.

Unbalanced Forces 

Unbalanced forces will make the object/thing to move away.An example of this is when a seesaw is sitting up on one side and down on the other.

Potential energy 

Potential energy is the energy that is stored.Like when a marble is sitting at the top of a marble run.

Kinetic energy 

Kinetic energy is the energy that is used when something is in motion.Like a marble that is going down a marble run.

Motion 

  The action of moving or being moved.
