This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, challenge tasks, plenary activities, and answer sheets for the KS3 Physics topic “Forces”. It also contains many specially selected student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make teaching the concepts of forces, fields, resultant forces, and weight, easier, more fun and student-led). There are also self-completing slides where answers can be clicked and move into the correct place (great for distance learning students and cover lessons). This bundle contains the following lessons: Forces Drawing Force Diagrams Hooke’s Law Drag and Friction Fields Calculating Weight Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Lesson objectives/outcomes: Lesson 1 – Forces Students should be able to: • Explain what forces are • Compare different types of forces • Describe how to measure forces and give the unit of force Lesson 2 – Drawing Force Diagrams Students should be able to: • Describe how forces are represented • Identify the direction a force acts on an object • Draw and/or label force arrows on diagrams for simple example Lesson 3 – Hooke’s Law Students should be able to: • Describe how forces deform objects • Describe how solid surfaces provide a support force • Investigate and use Hooke’s Law • Take accurate measurements • Plot a graph • Draw a line of best fit on a graph Lesson 4 – Drag and Friction Students should be able to: • Describe the effect of drag forces and friction • Explain how drag forces and friction arise • Describe how drag forces and friction can be reduced • Measure force using a newton meter • Record data in an appropriate table • use my observations to make a conclusion Lesson 5 – Fields Students should be able to: • Describe what a “field” is • Describe the effects of fields Lesson 6 – Calculating Weight Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between weight and mass • Calculate the weight of an object • Explain why weight is different on different planets • Convert units • Calculate values using a calculator Lesson 7 – Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces • Explain why objects are in equilibrium • Explain the changing motion of objects • Calculate resultant forces in one dimension
