This is the third lesson in a unit of work on forces which could be adapted for use at KS3 or GCSE. The lesson focuses on understanding why objects deform when a force is applied. There is a short activity on particles and bonds but knowledge of this would be useful in fully understanding the lesson. During this lesson, pupils will: Complete a true or false activity based on the content of lesson two of this unit. Watch a video to recap prior knowledge and quiz other pupils on it. Recap particles and bonding. Recognize that when a force is applied the bone between atoms can extend of compress. Apply knowledge to a golf ball being hit and compressing and a bungee jump extending the bungee rope. Write a description of someone jumping on a trampoline including the forces acting and effect on the bonds at different points of the jump. Consolidation activity.

This is the second lesson in a unit of work on forces which could be used at KS3 or GCSE. The lesson focus on the concept that forces always occur in pairs which interact. There is also work on drawing free body diagrams which might be a bit advanced for lower groups but useful for more advanced groups. During this lesson pupils will: Use ISM to identify forces acting on an object that is stationary and the directions they are acting. Relate the previous activity to Newton’s third law of motion. Learn about interaction pairs. Learn the rules for drawing free body diagrams. Draw free body diagrams from pictures in the lesson. Watch a video to consolidate learning. Complete consolidation task to identify forces which would pair with each other and draw their own free body diagram. A bundle of all 8 lessons in this unit can be found here.

This is an introductory lesson on Forces as part of a Physics course. It was originally delivered to a year 9 class but could easily be adapted for other key stages and year levels. This is designed for a 100 minute lesson but could be broken up into smaller parts. During this lesson, pupils will: Consider two objects falling with and without air resistance Differences between energy and forces Identify different types of forces Link Newton’s Laws of Motion with forces. Calculate the resultant force for balanced and unbalanced forces and deduce movement. Work with force equation to work out mass and acceleration.

This is an introductory lesson on Energy as part of a Physics course. It was originally delivered to a year 9 class but could easily be adapted for other key stages and year levels. This is designed for a 100 minute lesson but could be broken up into smaller parts. During this lesson, pupils will: Asses their prior knowledge about energy Consider changes in velocity and energy in a stone being thrown in the air. Identify different types of energy from pictures and own knowledge. Consider energy transfers in electrical appliances such as phones. Draw Sankey diagrams to show useful and waste energy from different appliances. Calculate the efficiency of different appliances
