A force is a push or pull that causes a change in speed, direction or shape. Some forces are affected by speed, other forces are not. All forces come in pairs, no force exists by itself. In this lesson, students are introduced to what a force is and how the affect us. They look at examples of magnetism, air & water resistance, friction and upthrust. The interactive powerpoint shows how the forces work through diagrams and videos. The students then complete the activity sheet labelling the forces and drawing their own diagrams.

Gravity or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy, including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. In this lesson, students will be taught what gravity is and how it affects us and how it is different in space. They will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how weight is different to mass. They will then carry out two experiments- in the first experiment they will measure objects with scales and a newton meter in order to show the difference between weight and mass. After this, they will compare the mass and speed of falling objects to investigate whether the heavier an object, the faster it falls. Both investigations come with a worksheet to follow.
