A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 7 class.
This is the fourth lesson in “Chapter 1 - Forces” from Activate 1, Physics. This lesson is on drag forces (air resistance and water resistance). It is taught separately to ‘friction’.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Physics class, even by those where physics is not their specialism.
This lesson (and all lessons in this unit) is designed to be interactive and engaging, with plenty of real world examples and independent tasks.
From this lesson, students should be able to:
- Give a definition for the term ‘drag force’
- Explain what causes air resistance
- Describe the effect that air resistance has on moving objects
- Explain what causes water resistance
- Describe the effect that water resistance has on moving objects
- Describe how to reduce the effect of drag and give examples of this
All of my lesson resources contain:
- A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
- An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
- Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
- Teacher models
- Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes
- Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
- A plenary task
