Outcomes
- Pupils should be able to give examples for, label and name a range of forces including Frictional Forces, Gravitational Force (Weight/gravitational pull), Tension Force, Electrical Force (electrostatic attraction/repulsion), Normal Force (Reaction), Magnetic Force, Air Resistance Force (drag), Applied Force (push/pull) and Spring Force.
Specification References
- 5.4 recall and use the relationship between pressure, force and area : Pressure = force / area

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
