Exploring the World of Forces: Push, Pull, and More!

Learning objective

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will understand different types of forces and how they affect objects.

What do you already know about forces and how they work?

What Are Forces?

Forces are pushes or pulls that can change an object's speed, direction, or shape.

Types of Forces

Common forces include gravity, friction, air resistance, and applied force.

Gravity: A Pulling Force

Gravity pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth, keeping us grounded.

Friction: Slowing Things Down

Friction occurs when two surfaces rub together, slowing movement.

Misconceptions About Forces

A common misconception is that objects need a constant force to keep moving.

Interactive Experiment

Experiment with different surfaces and objects to explore friction and movement.

Assessment for Learning

Identify forces in everyday scenarios. Explain how each force affects the objects involved.
