P8.2- Forces Between Object

The lesson has an option of 2 starters to introduce students to the concept of the effect of interaction of forces on objects. This is then followed by the two types of forces, examples and when these forces occur.

The main lesson is also divided into two sections. Firstly, students are introduced to the nature of forces (through Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion) using some examples of force pairs; thereby establishing that forces are vector quantities. This is then followed by students completing of an activity to consolidate these ideas (types of forces, nature of forces and force diagrams).

There is also an option of two plenaries where students have an opportunity to demonstrate key concepts covered in this lesson.
