CONTEXT
Hello! It is I, Professor Crankpot. Olive was so impressed with our last 'Book of Wonders' that she has asked me to get my team together again to create a new book at Portal Press! This brand new 'Book of Wonders' will be all about forces! All about the pushes and the pull, the twists and the turns! And I need your help! Will you be my team of authors to help write the book? I know you have great science skills which will come in handy too! I can't wait! Eureka!

What motivates Humanists to lead good lives?
What are the key beliefs that Humanists may live their lives based on?
1. There is no evidence of a god – science gives many answers to things previously attributed to gods e.g. the formation of life
2. We have one life – we need to make the best of it
3. It is our responsibility to treat humans and other living things ethically, fairly and positively 4. We need to take personal responsibility for our actions 5. We have the potential to achieve great things which will benefit humanity and future generations 6. Humanists value freedom, empathy, reason and human rights 7. Humanists respect people’s right to hold their own beliefs; however they are opposed to human rights being violated which can happen in some societies, some of which may be governed by religious law.

Responsibility – Taking ownership of your actions and doing what is right for yourself and others.
Empathy – Understanding how other people feel and caring about their thoughts and experiences.
Fairness – Treating everyone equally and making choices that are kind and just.

SCIENCE
National Curriculum:
Forces and Magnets
compare how things move on different surfaces
notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance
observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others
compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials
describe magnets as having 2 poles
predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing
Forces workshop - speaking, listening and performance
Investigations:
Magnet strength
WOW! Wonder Launch
Investigate which materials are magnetic and sort between objects that are magnetic and those that are non-magnetic.

How do different surfaces affect how things move?Objects move more easily on smooth surfaces, like tiles or polished floors, and more slowly on rough surfaces, like carpet or sandpaper. This is because rough surfaces create more friction, which slows things down. Friction is a force that acts between two surfaces when they rub together. Understanding surfaces helps us choose the best ones for sliding, rolling, or stopping movement.
What are magnetic forces and how are they different from other forces?Most forces, like pushing or pulling, need two objects to touch. But magnetic forces can act at a distance, without contact. Magnets can attract (pull) or repel (push away) certain objects, even through air or thin materials. This makes magnets useful in many everyday objects like fridge doors or toys.
What do magnets do and what materials do they attract?Magnets can attract or repel other magnets and pull certain materials towards them, like iron and steel. They do not attract materials like plastic, wood, or paper. We can test everyday objects to see which ones are magnetic. This helps us group materials and understand what magnets are useful for.
How do magnet poles work and how can we predict what will happen?Magnets have two poles—north and south. If two magnets have opposite poles facing each other, they attract. If the same poles face each other, they repel. By knowing which poles are facing, we can predict whether the magnets will pull together or push apart.
Friction – A force that slows things down when two surfaces rub against each other.
Magnet – An object that can attract certain materials, like iron or steel.
Force – A push or pull that can make something move, stop, or change direction.
Pole – One of the two ends of a magnet, called north and south, that attract or repel.
Attract – To pull something closer, like when a magnet pulls metal towards it.
