REMAT: Science Forces (Y5)

A force is a push or a pull which can make things move, change their speed, or change their shape.

• True
• False

Unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of

• gravity
• friction
• air resistance
• water resistance

A type of force that uses friction to slow things down that are moving through water is called

• gravity
• friction
• air resistance
• water resistance

The resistance of motion when one object rubs against another is called

• gravity
• friction
• air resistance
• water resistance

A frictional force that air pushes against a moving object is called

• gravity
• friction
• air resistance
• water resistance

This is called a

• lever
• pulley
• gear
• rope

An example of friction is:

• The force between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping.
• The force that pushes up on the parachute to slow a person's fall.
• The force that pushes against a boat or a swimmer and slows them down.
• A force that holds the planets in orbit around the sun.

An example of water resistance is:

• The force between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping.
• The force that pushes up on the parachute to slow a person's fall.
• The force that pushes against a boat or a swimmer and slows them down.
• A force that holds the planets in orbit around the sun.
