Tytler, Russell, Darby, Linda and Peterson, Suzanne 2011, Movement and force. In Skamp, Keith (ed), Teaching primary science constructively, Cengage Learning Australia, South Melbourne, Vic., pp.99-142.
How – and why – do things move? How do we describe how they move? This chapter looks at ideas and activities concerning movement and force. It deals with two major issues: firstly, ideas children have about motion and the strategies for teaching about motion in the primary school program. This will include some discussion of the different contexts in which movement and force can be studied. Secondly, it looks at the wider context of studying movement and force, linking it with technology and science as a human endeavour.
