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
