In successfully completing this unit, the Learner will have		Evidence needed
demonstrated the ability to
1	explain and use the terms 'gravity', 'mass' and 'weight' appropriately	Summary sheet
2	identify at least two materials which are magnetic and two which are non-magnetic	Summary sheet
3	state the four metals that are magnetic and make predictions about alloys using this knowledge	Summary sheet
4	name the poles and state the difference between 'attract' and 'repel'	Summary sheet
5	give reasons why difference surfaces are too hard to slip on by explaining friction	Summary sheet
experienced
6	investigating air resistance on different sizes of paper and explaining why a large size is more difficult to push against	Summary sheet
7	exploring water resistance and streamlining by experimenting with different shapes of plasticine	Summary sheet
8	investigating the effect of surface area on air resistance by measuring the speed of fall for parachutes of different sizes	Summary sheet
9	exploring magnetism and strength by seeing which magnets can attract the most paper clips	Summary sheet
10	using different surfaces to work out which causes more friction, eg by measuring the time taken for a toy car to travel along a ramp.	Summary sheet
