Venue: Discovate – Innovation, Science & Adventure Learning Park
Program Type: Full-Day Interdisciplinary Field Inquiry
Age Group: 10–11 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Forces, motion, coordination, mechanical systems, innovation and cause–effect relationships
This full-day field inquiry positions Discovate as a real-world laboratory for examining how forces, systems and innovation shape movement, balance, safety and human problem-solving.
Learners investigate how physical forces influence motion, how body systems enable coordination, and how technological design improves efficiency and safety.
The inquiry progression follows:
Observation → Prediction → Investigation → Explanation → Application
Students analyse motion systems, identify interacting forces, observe cause and consequence, and construct evidence-based explanations grounded in real experience.
Cambridge Primary Science (Stage 6):
• Understand that forces affect movement and can change speed or direction
• Explain the effects of gravity and friction
• Describe how muscles and skeleton work together for movement
• Identify how balanced and unbalanced forces act in systems
• Make predictions and draw conclusions from observations
Cambridge Primary English (Stage 6):
• Participate in structured discussions
• Justify explanations using evidence
• Present organised spoken reflections
Cambridge Primary Physical Education (Stage 6):
• Demonstrate coordination, balance and control
• Reflect on personal physical performance
Students will:
• Investigate how forces act within real-world systems
• Examine body coordination in physical challenges
• Identify cause–effect relationships in motion systems
• Analyse how innovation improves safety and efficiency
• Collect structured observational evidence
• Construct simple scientific explanations
Students will:
• Explain at least two examples of forces affecting movement
• Identify one example of balanced and one unbalanced force
• Describe how muscles and skeleton enable coordination
• Provide one evidence-based explanation of a motion system
• Reflect on how innovation improves safety or performance
AO1: Research and Enquiry – Ask questions and gather organised observational evidence
AO2: Analysis – Explain cause and consequence within systems
AO3: Evaluation – Assess effectiveness of design and innovation
AO4: Communication – Present structured spoken reflections
