This simulation allows students to visualise the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. It is possible to change properties of the objects in order to see how that changes the gravitational force between them.
The simulation can be used to:
*Relate gravitational force to the masses...
This resource contains six activities that link to Forces. This unit is taught through the concept of a theme park, with children investigating a range of rides and rollercoasters. These resources are designed for use with mixed age groups classes of Year 5 and 6. Activities include:
- investigating the...
This activity can be used to explore the relationship between shape and hydrodynamics (resistance).
Curriculum links include aerodynamics, resistance, forces, buoyancy and thrust. There are a number of useful links to...
From the Institute of Physics, this topic concerns resistive forces against motion. It begins by considering drag forces in general before shifting the focus to air resistance. Students look at the forces such as up-thrust, drag, air resistance and terminal velocity. Following the topic, students should be able to...
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the mechanical and electrical engineering power industry. Here students learn how statistical models are used to set alarms which detect changes in vibration above normal values. The alarms highlight that...
The Knowledge and understanding guide: forces provides background scientific knowledge and understanding for teachers. It is not intended or suitable for direct use with students. It comprises nine sections which could each be the focus of an individual study session. Each includes ‘tasks’, ‘discussions’, ‘what the...
This unit looks at how forces and energy play a major role in London’ s transport network.
Students use modern information systems to measure average speeds for journeys around the capital. They investigate forces acting on vehicles and the energy used to make vehicles move, with a focus on how energy...
Pulp to paper is activity 5 in the resource booklet Forces and Recycling. Children pulp newspaper and use it to make a sheet of recycled paper.
This infographic guide to teaching 11-14 year olds about forces uses the...
In this set of activities, students will plan, design, and build a landing module to secure the survival of the crew (in the form of an egg-naut) landing on the Moon. They will explore which factors should be considered when landing on the Moon, in comparison to landing on Earth. In the design of the lunar lander,...
A Year 10 module from the Salters’ double award science course. This module develops ideas about forces and motion in the context of road transport. It begins by eliciting some of the ideas students already have. Text activities consider the driving and counter forces...
In Nuffield Physics, constructive problems or questions that ask for active thinking largely took the place of pupils' reading in texts or background books. The purpose and nature of these questions was explained in chapter 1 of Nuffield Physics Tests and Examinations...
Some students were expected to start the Nuffield Physics course in the third year and so Teachers’ Guide III starts with the same General Introductions that was included in Teachers’ Guide I. This was followed by general and specific guidance about the third year of the course. The course for this year was...
A collection of STEM resources from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Youth and STEM programme. Included are a selection of resources demonstrating how the RAF use technology to aid them in search and rescue operations and how the natural world inspires engineers to develop new products and designs.
The...
In this set of three activities students will design and build their own paper rockets and launch them. They will learn what it takes in order for a rocket to be stable and they will calculate the rocket’s trajectory and velocity. They will learn about the velocity required to leave Earth in a rocket and uncover...
