Lesson plan
Introduce Forces – fundamental forces – the quest for physics – unified force. The big bang – Higgs
Prior learning: studying motion – speed, acceleration, distance we are studying the effects of motion
Now study cause – forces cause objects to change their motion – accelerate.
Examples of changing shape - force –rubber band /spring- change shape – Hooke’s Law,
Unit of force – Newton – Measure force using a newton metre – potential practical?
“In the previous AOK we studied the effects of motion. We learnt how to describe motion with
vectors, represent motion in graphs and calculate using equations”
We will understand what causes an objects motion to change yet another to remain constant –
unchanged?
Recap:
What is a vector?
What is a force?
Build on existing knowledge of forces from primary school – uses of the word forces – ask for
examples or provide – kibble
Types/examples of forces:
Use BEST diagnostic test to name forces deduce how much they recall from primary school…
What if I was using more force lifting my right arm than my left arm?
Main activity:
