Task 1 Topic introduction:

WALT: Identify what we know and what we want to find out about the Egyptians  

• Open the Egyptians knowledge sheet.
• Read through the headings and consider anything you already know about any of these subjects.
• Record any information you already have in your brain in the boxes. This could be pictures, sentences or bullet pointed lists. 
• Now open the PowerPoint and look through the images for each category. See if this helps you access anything else you may have stored in your brain. Add these ideas in a different colour.

Work though the PowerPoint on water resistance and upthrust.  

When you get to slide 9 and 10 (mini experiment) do this if you have some plasticine, playdough or blue-tac at home. If you don’t have these then watch the experiment on the video link below. 

Record a prediction before you do or watch it then write a conclusion explain why (see slide 11) 

Continue with the slide show. At slide 14 (plasticine challenge) if you have the equipment try to make a shape that will float, test it then draw it. If you do not have the equipment draw a shape you think would float.  

Write a sentence under you drawing explaining why it floats. Use the word gravity and upthrust.
