Stopping Moving Objects
This resource from Teachers TV explores the forces of moving objects, using a demolition ball as an example. Suitable as a lesson starter for Key Stage One, it begins with footage of a demolition ball demolishing houses then shows a professor dodging a demolition ball as it swings from side to side. It transpires that it is only a 2D shape and does not present a real danger. Children are left with a question to discuss: why was the professor able to stop the moving objects? This short clip could be used as an introduction into work on forces and movement.
