Lesson: Air Resistance Science • 4th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to define air resistance and describe its effects.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe air resistance as a type of frictional force that slows down objects that move in air,
identify that air resistance depends on the surface area, shape, and speed of an object,
describe ways in which air resistance can be increased and decreased.

Q1:

Air resistance is a type of drag force.

Fill in the blanks: A drag force is a type of that acts in the an object’s motion through a liquid or gas.

Q2:

Air resistance is the force of air pushing against a moving object.

Which image correctly shows the force of air resistance?

Q3:

The faster an object moves, the more air resistance it has.

Fill in the blank: Air resistance the object.
