Welcome

Welcome to Feel the force, a resource pack on Forces and motion for Key Stage 2 teachers.

Feel the force provides a selection of resources to help you teach forces and motion and design and technology. Thought provoking pictures introduce the concepts to the students, a visit to Explore-At-Bristol allows everyone to feel the forces and back in the classroom practical activities illustrate the concepts that have been investigated.

Throughout the pack links between science and design and technology are highlighted. To bring it all to life, real-world examples of the science and design and technology are provided at every stage.

Developed by At-Bristol with the support of the Medlock Trust, The Chartered Surveyors' Company and Ove Arup and the involvement of teachers from Bristol City, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset councils.

Background

Scientific principles underlie many of the technological developments we see in all aspects of the world around us, Feel the Force seeks to exploit the interface between the science and design technology curricula. It concentrates on practical applications illustrated through the theme of Forces and Motion and uses the exhibitions of At-Bristol as the starting point.
