Forces

This film follows Dr Simon Foster, from Imperial College, as he discusses the topic of forces in various contexts. Working with a class they design and make water rockets thinking about the forces needed to make them fly and how to protect the contents of the rockets when they land.

This film provides an activity idea in which children apply their knowledge of forces in a practical way. This resource has been provided by Reach Out CPD, a programme developed by Imperial College London in partnership with Tigtag.
