Motion in KS3 and KS4

Year 9 have been studying motion during their Forces 2 topic, learning how to calculate speed, draw distance time graphs and then moving on to relative motion. This is a great example of powerful knowledge from Key Stage 3 providing the building blocks for GCSE. The year 11 students are currently taking this knowledge a step further, learning about velocity time graphs and understanding how the changing forces on a falling object cause it to reach terminal velocity.

Below are some examples of work on relative motion by Poppy M in year 9 and a piece on terminal velocity by Millie S in year 11.
