Outcomes
Pupils should be able to give examples for, label and name a range of forces including
- Upthrust
- Tension Force
- Spring Force
- Electrical Force (electrostatic attraction/repulsion)
- Magnetic Force
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
Forces circus
- laminated copies are provided with the circus- copy in science shared
- There are student sheets to go with the circus. It includes questions and force diagrams from each station
- Discuss the stations as a class. There is a powerpoint in science sharered which goes through the student sheets. This is also opportunity to use the hand held white boards to test their understanding.
Plenary
- Set up a balloon which is electrostatically charged, on the ceiling, attach a string with a paperclip at the end. With a strong magnet on a retort stand, arrange it so that it is attacting the paperclip in the horizontal direction. The paperclip could have a wooden block attached to it which is floating in a beaker of water find set up here
- Have students draw and label the forces acting on the balloon and paperclip. Ask them to consider the size, direction and type of force
Homework
Additional Information
Resources Required
- Electrical Force - balloons for electrostatics, rice in a plastic bottle charging polythene rods and using watch glass show repulsion
- Frictional- slope with different objects (car, glass block and wooden block) where they change and measure the angle + hovercraft
- Magnetic - 2x bar magnets, iron filing in a boiling tube, horse shoe magnets attached to two vehicles with ability to reverse them.
- Upthrust - pieces of wood in water, different sized paper boat with paper clips to add, transparent water bath
- Spring force- spring and masses, rubber bands, squashy ball
- Tension Force- ball and string, tyrolean traverse with barbie attached

Skills Addressed
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
