Gravity, weight and mass. The force of gravity. Calculations. W=mg. et

A complete, KS4 lesson

For USA - this lesson is for use between 8th to 10th grade.

There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it.

Lesson objectives:

* Understand the difference between mass and weight.
* Understand the role that gravity plays in this difference.
* Be able to successfully calculate weight and mass.

This carefully crafted lesson is over 30 slides long, and is full of learning activities as below:
* Starter - simple task where students self-assess against the objectives.
* Quiz with answers.
* Questions – all answers are provided.
* Differentiated questions – all answers are provided.
* Peer marking
* Self marking
* Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities,
* Play ball.
* Video clip link (carefully selected – this alone can save you 20+ minutes of searching).
* Paired work activities – all answers are provided.
* Scientific Literacy activity.
* Scientific Numeracy activity
* Plenary formative/summative assessment quiz / activity.
* Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt.
* Extension activities – just in case additional activities are required.
