Air resistance

Lesson Plan

• Check worksheet gravity
  
• 1.6 Air resistance
• Working independently

Goals

• discuss your answers to the worksheet
• What is air resistance and what effects it?
•  Explain streamlining
• Explain terminal velocity 

Check worksheet gravity

Air resistance — Exercise

a) How does it affect motion?

• It makes you speed up at a slower rate.
  
• It causes you to reach a lower final speed.

b) What causes air resistance to increase/decrease?

•  The speed you travel at.
•  The surface area of an object.

c) Name 3 examples of Air resistance.

two pieces of paper. 

one crumbled, one plat.

Drop them at the same time.
