He had invented the labyrinth that the Minotaur was being kept in. Wanting to be a hero, Daedalus agreed to help. Later that night, the three met at the entrance to the labyrinth. Holding out a ball of string, Daedalus explained his plan. “This labyrinth has been designed to be so complicated that I can’t even escape it. However, if you unravel this string behind you, you will be able to use it to find the entrance again. Ariadne and I will stay here to make sure that nobody else comes in. Good luck.” With that, the doors to the labyrinth closed and Theseus set off to find the Minotaur. Leaving the string behind him, he searched through the narrow passages until, at last, he was face to face with the beast. The Minotaur was stronger but Theseus was quicker and smarter. After a long battle, Theseus emerged victorious. The Minotaur had been defeated. Theseus immediately made his way to the ship with Ariadne. He had done it! No more children would ever have to meet the Minotaur. Feeling tired but happy, Theseus hoisted the black sails of his ship and headed for home, forgetting all about the promise that he had made to his father. The Story of Theseus and the Minotaur Theseus was fed up. Minos had been telling Athens what to do for nine years now and, tomorrow, 14 more children would be shipped off to meet the Minotaur. He went over the plan in his head and knocked on the door of his father’s study. Before Aegeus could even stand up to meet his son, Theseus had started talking. “This deal with Minos has gone on for too long. Families are terrified that their children will be picked next. We should be protecting our people – not feeding them to the Minotaur! Tomorrow, when the boat comes, I am going to take the place of one of the boys. Then, I will defeat the Minotaur and we can live in peace.” Aegeus was shocked. He knew that his son was strong and brave but the Minotaur was huge and fierce. In fact, it was so fierce that it had to be locked inside a complex maze. Aegeus begged Theseus to find another way but he had already made up his mind. Eventually, Aegeus had to agree. “I will not be happy until I know that you are safe,” he told Theseus. “The moment that I can see your ship, I want to know that you have won. If you have defeated the beast, replace your ship’s black sails with white ones. Then, I will know that you are coming home safely.” Theseus nodded and promised his father that his sails would be white. Later that day, Theseus climbed into the ship alongside 13 shivering children. When the boat arrived in Crete, they were met by Minos and his daughter, Ariadne. As Minos led the children to the palace, Ariadne pulled Theseus to one side. She explained that she wanted to escape from her father and his unfair laws. As a result, she told Theseus that she would help him if he promised to take her away from Crete. King Minos was the king of Crete. He was angry and enjoyed attacking the city of Athens when they weren’t expecting it. King Aegeus, who was the king of Athens, wanted to stop the attacks so he struck a deal with Minos. In return for peace, Aegeus would send over seven girls and seven boys to be offered to King Minos’s terrifying beast – the Minotaur.

The Story of Theseus

and the Minotaur

Theseus was fed up. Minos had been telling Athens what to do for nine years now

and, tomorrow, 14 more children would be shipped off to meet the Minotaur. He

went over the plan in his head and knocked on the door of his father’s study.

Before Aegeus could even stand up to meet his son, Theseus had started talking.

children will be picked next. We should be protecting our people – not feeding them

Make a Turbine ActivityTeach children about how one action causes a reaction by making their own turbine. Discover how the force of water creates movement and how this can be used to generate energy.

Curriculum Aim: Recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.

All About Gravity PowerPointUse this PowerPoint to find out all about gravity. What is it? Who discovered it? How does it affect our daily lives? Use as part of the Y5 forces topic.

Curriculum Aim: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity.

Year 5 Gravity Investigation Differentiated WorksheetsUse this resource to investigate Galileo’s theory that objects of different masses will fall at the same time.

Curriculum Aim: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity.

What is Friction? KS2 PowerPointTeach your KS2 students all about friction with this handy interactive PowerPoint. It includes basic information on friction, how to use and reduce friction and how air resistance works.

Curriculum Aim: Identify the effects of friction.

Does a heavier object fall quicker than a lighter object?

Gravity Investigation Record Sheet

Prediction(Delete as appropriate.)I think that the heavier/lighter object will land on the ground first.

I think this because

Fair TestingTo make this a fair test I will need to keep these things the same:

(List as many as you can think of.)

The one thing that I am going to change is:

Why do we need to repeat the drop three times?

visit twinkl.com

Does a heavier object fall quicker than a

lighter object?

You will need:• Two or more containers or bags exactly the same size (plastic cups, strong plastic bags, cardboard

boxes etc.)

• Sand/stone/something heavy

• Polystyrene balls/tissue paper/something light

• Tape measure

• Weighing scales

• Optional: tablet computer or video camera

You are going to drop the bags/containers at the same time, from the same height and see

which hits the ground first.

Falling objects are also affected

by air resistance. Ideally you

would do this investigation in

a vacuum but having objects of

the same size will minimise the

impact of air resistance.

Method1. Fill one container or bag with a heavy filling.

2. Fill another container or bag with a light filling.

3. Weigh each container and make a note of it.

4. Choose somewhere safe from which to drop your objects at the same time.

Things to consider:

• Try and drop from as high as possible without making things unsafe (don’t climb up

ladders or hang over a railing – check your plans with your teacher). The highest place

may simply be standing tall with your arms held as high as they will go.

• Make sure that the landing area can be clear from people and items.

• Make sure that the containers are really secure so the containers don’t break on landing.

Use sticky tape to secure the containers.

• Dropping on to a soft area, such as grass or a mat, is the safest way for the objects to land.

5. Measure the height of the drop so that it can be the same each time.

6. You may be able to film the drops and even play them back in slow-motion so you can

investigate exactly what happens afterwards.

7. Before the drop, clear the landing area (stand well away) in case of any spreading of contents.

8. Count down to the drop so that the objects set off at the same time.

9. Observe and record your results and what you see.

10. Repeat the drop three times, record your results and write your conclusions.
