Go Ballistic

Building Blocks Students will gain:
– Experience of taking accurate measurements
– Experience of looking for patterns in results
– An understanding of how angles are measured in degrees: estimate and compare acute, obtuse and reflex angles

Curriculum Links Students will be working scientifically to:
– Pay attention to objectivity and concern for accuracy, precision, repeatability and reproducibility.
– Make predictions using scientific knowledge and understanding
use appropriate techniques, apparatus, and materials during fieldwork and laboratory work, paying attention to health and safety.
– Apply mathematical concepts and calculate results.
– Present observations and data using appropriate methods, including tables and graphs.
– Interpret observations and data, including identifying patterns and using observations, measurements and data to draw conclusions.
– Present reasoned explanations, including explaining data in relation to predictions and hypotheses.
– Evaluate data, showing awareness of potential sources of random and systematic error.
– Identify further questions arising from their results, using SI units

Beyond the curriculum Students will have the opportunity to:
– Explore the use of mathematics in real life scenarios
