This includes a presentation I have put together to teach moments, levers and the new gears topic, then a couple of scaffolded worksheets with answers for both moments and gears.
I have tried the moments part of the lesson with both year 9s and a year 11 separates group and it has worked well. I have used the gears section with a year 11 separates science group and it worked fairly well. It was important to make sure they had a good grasp of moments and moment calculations before moving onto gears. And when you teach it, make sure you show how a gear links to a moment carefully because I have found that gears are a more abstract idea for students to grasp than standard moments or levers.
I hope its self explanatory but let me know if you need any more support with the lesson.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Just what was needed for my separate science physicists.
