This resource is a document going through how inertial mass can be taught in an innovative way using very slow drag racing.
Any feedback would be appreciated and the full lesson is available in my shop
Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress.
Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me
