Outcomes

Pupils should be able to sketch, draw and interpret a range of distance time graphs.
Pupils should understand the significance of average speed versus instantaneous speed.
Pupils should be able to use and recall the relationship <math>avg speed=distance moved/time taken</math>
Pupils should be able to link the equation above to the orbital speed of planets.
Pupils need to recall the circumference of a circle equation and the meaning of the term Time Period.
Pupils should be able to use the relationship

<math>v= (2xpixr)/T</math>

1.2 understand and use distance-time graphs
1.3 recall and use the relationship between average speed, distance moved and time: <math>avg speed = distance moved/time taken</math>
1.33 use the relationship between orbital speed, distance moved and time: orbital speed = (2 x pi x orbital radius)/time period or <math>v= (2xpixr)/T</math>

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
Strain/Spring force- spring and masses, rubber bands, squashy ball
Gravitational – different masses on a Newton Scale, planetry model
Applied Force – Push or Pull and Thrust – pulling brick with Newton meter, stones on a tray and water jug, stream of peas to drop onto a balance, balloon with a small tube and placed over a large retort stand + balloon pump
Air resistance force/drag– ball bearing dropping through oil, model of dolphin, dropping ball and feather
Tension Force- ball and string, tyrolean traverse with barbie attached
Normal Force- block and strong card

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.
