A fully-resourced lesson which looks at the calculation of a turning force and uses this to apply the principle of moments. The lesson includes an engaging and informative lesson presentation (24 slides) and a series of worksheets, some of which contain questions which have been differentiated. The lesson begins by getting the students to read through the scene from Friends which involves the famous “PIVOT”. This word has been removed from the scene and so students have to work out what it is and how it could relate to a Physics lesson. The rest of the lesson focuses on the range of calculation questions that students can face, which get progressively more difficult. At each stage of the lesson, students are guided through examples and given hints on points to be conscious of so that any silly mistakes can be eradicated. The principle of moments question worksheet has been differentiated two ways so that those students who need extra assistance are still able to access the learning. A homework question is also included in the lesson.
This lesson has been written for GCSE students but should higher ability KS3 students want to really test themselves, it could be used with them.

A bundle is a package of resources grouped together to teach a particular topic, or a series of lessons, in one place.
Topic P1: Motion (Cambridge iGCSE Science Double Award)
This bundle of 9 lessons covers the majority of the content in Topic P1 (Motion) of the core and supplement sections of the Cambridge iGCSE Science Double Award specification. The topics and specification points covered within these lessons include: Define speed and calculate average speed Distinguish between speed and velocity Define and calculate acceleration Plot distance-time graphs and speed-time graphs Calculate acceleration and distance travelled from a speed-time graph Distinguish between mass and weight Recall and use the equation W = mg Describe how forces can affect a body Plot and interpret extension-load graphs Understand Hooke's Law Friction and air resistance Resultant forces Calculating moments The principle of moments All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding
Topic P9: Forces and their effects (Edexcel GCSE Physics)
This bundle of 3 lessons covers a lot of the content in Topic P9 (Forces and their effects) of the Edexcel GCSE Physics specification. The topics covered within these lessons include: Objects interacting due to forces Vector and scalar quantities Resolution of forces Free body diagrams Turning forces The principle of moments All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding.
