Outcomes
Pupils should be able to give examples for, label and name a range of forces including
- Applied Force (push/pull)
- Frictional Forces
- Normal Force (Reaction)
- Gravitational Force (Weight/gravitational pull)
Specification References
1.7 Express a force as a push or a pull of one body on another
1.8 Identify various types of force (e.g. gravitational, electrostatic etc)
Starter
Main Body of Lesson
- The force circus has now been split in half. To get through the circus I suggest talking through each station with the entire group having different pupils undertaking the experiment as you go. There is also a powerpoint with some simple definitions of the 6 forces covered in this lesson.
- Laminated copies are provided with the circus- copy in science shared
- You may be asked to have types of forces lesson 2 prior to lesson 1 so that kit can be easily shared.

Additional Information
Resources Required
- Frictional- slope with different objects (car, glass block and wooden block) where they change and measure the angle + hovercraft
- Gravitational – different masses on a Newton Scale, planetry model
- Applied Force – Push or Pull and Thrust – pulling brick with Newton meter, sand to pour onto a balance
- Air resistance force/drag– ball bearing dropping through oil, model of dolphin, dropping ball and feather, parachute person
- Normal Force- block and strong card
- Thrust - balloon (long ones and fat ones), straws, 2 lines of string to go from the front of the lab to the back of the lab close to the ceiling

Safety/Hazards
- A tank with water in it will be heavy and so is only to be moved by the technician; please refer to the Manual handling section of the Laboratory Lessons Health and Safety Risk Assessment
- When using springs, goggles must be worn
- The main risk is from the vacuum pump and apparatus. The specific risk assessment must be read before using the apparatus.
- General Laboratory Health and Safety Risk Assessment
Notes
- None
