Outcomes

Pupils can arrange all the GCSE quantities into two groups: scalars and vectors.
Pupils appreciate that force is a vector quantity and understand the nature of this.
Pupils can name and label forces on stationary objects using arrows (1-D and 2-D) and show that they are balanced.
Pupils can create a triangle of force vectors (2-D) from a trio of string pulling on a stationary loop to appreciate balanced forces.
Pupils can add force vectors that act along a line.

File too large to upload - laminated copies are provided with the circus- copy in science

Set up a balloon which is electrostatically charged, on the ceiling, attach a string with a

Electrical Force - balloons for electrostatics, rice in a plastic bottle charging polythene rods and using watch glass show repulsion

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.
