KS3 Forces Independent Revision & Flipped Learning (Gravity, Contact Forces, Speed and Pressure)

For Key Stage 3 independent revision or use as a flipped learning resource for KS3 and KS4. **4 double page sections **are presented in colorful PDF format. This is excellent for independent reading and includes simple revision activities to review and consolidate learning. Aimed particularly at lower to middle ability students, but also useful for higher revision.

Objectives are to:

• Explain gravity, mass and weight (including Newton’s story). w=mg. Includes mass and weight conversions.
• Explain speed, including interpretation of distance / time graphs. s=d/t
• Explain pressure with appropriate examples. P=F/A. Includes pressure in liquids and gases
• Explain contact forces, including friction, air resistance etc. Balanced and unbalanced forces.

Consistent with major exam board specifications, particularly AQA KS3.

I made this a couple of years ago and have found it very useful as an independent learning activity. Students can read through and complete the questions in class or for homework. I’ve also used it for ‘flipped learning’, with students asked to take each of the four sections home and use them for learning in preparation for subsequent lessons. This has also worked very well with KS4 students - especially at Foundation level, where students find the content very accessible and understandable.
