Balanced and unbalanced forces

This is lesson about forces that I have used with year 5 pupils. In this lesson pupils are introduced to the idea that forces can be balanced or unbalanced and that we can use arrows to show these forces. Newton’s laws of motion are introduced as an extension but this is not KS2 content. The trad version of the Power Point has more text than the LD version but they both support the same level of learning.
