Lessons from the 9I unit in the new Exploring Science scheme of work all about forces and motion.
Including lessons for:
9Ia Forces and Movement
9Ib Energy for Movement
9Ic Speed
9Id Turning Forces
9Ie More Machines
*Some of the lessons have references to worksheets from the ActiveLearn but could be replaced with other worksheets or omitted from the lesson completely.

This pack of materials consists of nine worksheets and fully worked out answers.
Resultant Forces
Forces and Motion: Distance Time Graphs
Forces and Motion: Velocity Time Graphs
Forces and Braking
Forces and Terminal Velocity
Forces and Elasticity
Forces and Energy: Potential Energy
Forces and Energy: Kinetic Energy
Momentum
They have been designed to match the needs of the AQA Physics GCSE syllabus for the first half of module P2, but could be used with any GCSE Physics syllabus or appropriate unit from GCSE Double Science. They are suitable for use in class or as homework. They cover the areas of forces, motion and energy.
Each worksheet contains the relevant equation/s to complete the work, so that students should find the tasks accessible. The focus for calculation questions is on the process of getting to the answer rather than the answer itself. (Many answer guides or mark schemes simply quote the correct answer without the details to help a struggling student see how it was achieved).
My aim is to produce five more units of similar materials to complete the Physics GCSE. I would appreciate any feedback, errors or omissions to help me with this work going forward.
Students won't mind taking a test with this student friendly force and motion assessment. The test consists of 10 multiple choice questions and includes a key.
key words: force, motion, friction, gravity, push, pull

What is a Tarsia puzzle?
Think of it as a puzzle or even a more complicated version of playing snap or pairs but instead of the information being the same students are matching key terms with definitions or dates with events or equations, etc

Calculate tension force using pulleys
In this practical activity two objects are connected via a string that passes over a pulley; then they are released from rest. Participants are tasked to use their knowledge of mechanics to predict the time taken for the heavier object to fall to the ground and the greatest height reached by the lighter object? Once each participant has made their calculations, complete the experiments, and compare to the predictions.
This practical is designed to be easily set up and carried out in a maths classroom using simple equipment. It will help students to understand the mechanics topic of kinematics and constant acceleration equations in AS and A level Mathematics.
The video features the equipment needed and the practical procedure. The teacher notes contain additional guidance on carrying out the activity, sample calculations and suggested points for discussion, as well as an indication of some relevant real-life applications.
The activity sheet includes teacher notes, guidance, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved UK nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
All activity sheets and supporting resources are free to download and are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs. Links to stream and download the videos can be found resources section below.
Tools/resources required:
Board
2 cup hooks
2 washing line pulleys
Long piece of string with 3 loops in it
3 different masses, e.g. different coloured plasticine
Pencil
Ruler
Tape measure/plumb line
Protractor
Kitchen scales
Sticky tape
And please do share your classroom learning highlights with us @IETeducation

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1)
Covers a variety of exam style questions for the new CP2 unit of work. This is a double sided sheet which included drawing graphs, interpreting graphs, recall of equations, stopping distances and other exam questions.
This also includes sheets with answers on separate sheets
Simple power point to put up on screen also included
A student book to complete, pitched at low ability Year 9 for OCR but suitable to teach Newton's Laws across different specifications.
Three presentations to accompany the booklet.
Some powerpoints were created by a different member of the team and edited by me to fit with the booklet I made (can't claim all the credit!)
Powerpoint covers;
vectors and scalars
speed, distance and acceleration
velocity and position
distance/speed - time graphs
Powerpoint includes;
videos and past paper questions (edexcel)(GCSE/IGCSE)
Powerpoint focuses on edexcel specification

Revision mat of the GCSE 9-1 Edexcel Conservation of Energy topic. There are some fill in the blanks, true or false and general questions. Includes answers
A Comprehensive set of resources to teach and test Forces and Motion (Chapter 3) for CIE IGCSE exams.
Package includes;
A complete 64-page presentation resource-pack explaining in detail the whole chapter. The presentation comprise of teaser questions, worked examples, recommended experiments, simulation, video and detailed explanations with flow of lesson in note section of presentation.
A complementary handout which is provided to the students during the lesson. This saves time for students as they don’t have to take intense notes thus enabling them to focus on the lecture. The handout carries questions that are discussed in the class and help teachers detect any knowledge gap in their comprehension of concepts. But more importantly, the handout is a comprehensive summary of the chapter which the student can refer back to when needed.
A 29- page worksheet which includes handpicked 32 multiple choice questions from past papers 2 and 12 structured questions from past papers 4. The questions are carefully selected to keep them relevant to the topic (Forces and motion and intersections of previous topics) and avoid chapters that the students have not studied yet.
These sources are compatible with David Sang and friends book
This worksheet covers all of P10 Forces and Motion in the AQA syllabus, with a lot of overlap with OCR and Edexcel. It is a great for revision before an end of topic test, or just as an interleaving exercise.
Topic:
Forces in balance:
1. Represent vector quantities on scale diagrams.
2. Interpret scale diagrams.
Level: GCSE, key stage 4
I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS3 or KS4 science (specifically physics).
Resources:
1. Powerpoint slides: powerpoint slides, compatible with a worksheet/handout. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils.
2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use this as worksheet or handout. Pupils can take notes during lesson and complete tasks in this editable document.
Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload more lessons following this topic. Check out some bundles I've put together.
Enjoy!
