This online lesson explains what rotations are.

In this lesson you will learn about:

1. Enlargement and reduction of shapes using a scale factor.
2. Reflection of geometric shapes.
3. Translation of geometric shapes.
4. Rotation of geometric shapes.

This online lesson explores the concept of translations.

Students learn about two-axis rotations, and specifically how to rotate objects both physically and mentally about two axes. A two-axis rotation is a rotation of an object about a combination of x, y or z-axes, as opposed to a single-axis rotation, which is about a single x, y or z-axis. Students practice drawing two-axis rotations through an exercise using simple cube blocks to create shapes, and then drawing on triangle-dot paper the shapes from various x-, y- and z-axis rotation perspectives.

Defining and comparing tension, weight, friction and normal forces using free body diagrams.

Visualising, adding and breaking down vectors in 2 dimensions.

In this unit you will learn what a force is and find out about different types of forces. This will allow you to identify forces at work in your everyday life and understand the effects of forces.
