    Forces can cause objects to speed up, slow down, change shape or change direction. Gravity is the force that attracts objects towards the center of Earth. Friction is the force that makes two surfaces in contact stick together and provides resistance. A newton is the unit used to measure force, which is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared. Levers use a rigid bar and a pivot point to move heavy loads using less effort.

    Year 5 Science Knowledge Organiser - Summer 1 - Forces


    1 Force A push or pull on an object. A force can cause something to
    speed up, slow down, change shape or change direction.
    2 Gravity The force that attracts an object towards the centre of the earth.
    3 Friction When two surfaces slide together, a force called friction makes
    them stick very slightly together.
    4 Mass The amount of matter within an object.
    5 Newton A newton (N) is the international unit of measure for force. One
    newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared.
    6 Surface The outside or any one side of an object.
    7 Air Resistance A force that is caused by air with the force acting in the opposite
    direction to an object moving through the air.
    8 Action & Action force is force acting in one direction. Reaction force is
    Reaction Force force acting in the opposite direction.
    9 Variables In science, a variable is any item, factor, or condition that can be
    controlled or changed.

    10 Water A force that is caused by water with the force acting in the
    Resistance opposite direction to an object moving through the water.
    11 Buoyant Things that float are buoyant.
    12 Streamlined Streamline is something that has a shape that provides little
    resistance to air or fluid flow.
    13 Surface Area In Science, surface area is the measure of how much exposed
    area a solid object has, expressed in square units.
    14 Upthrust Upthrust is the force that pushes an object up and makes it
    seem to lose weight in a fluid.
    15 Push To move something in a specific way by exerting force.
    16 Pull To draw or houl towards oneself or itself, in a particular direction.
    17 Stretch Elastic materials, and objects such as springs, change shape
    when a force is exerted on them: stretching happens when the
    material or object is pulled.
    18 Elasticity Elasticity is a measure of how well a material returns to its
    original shape and size after being stretched or compressed

    19 Levers A rigid bar resting on a pivot that is used to move a heavy or


    firmly fixed load.
    20 Pivot point The point on which something balances on allowing
    movement to happen
    21 Effort The physical work needed to apply a force.
    22 Mechanisms The working parts of a machine (e.g. engine).

    23 Fulcrum The "​fulcrum​" is the point on which the lever turns or balances, otherwise known as the pivot.
