Are you looking for NET FORCES lesson that is both engaging and stimulating? Look no further. I have designed this 3 part forces lesson that offers students the opportunity to explore key force concepts through PHET simulations, practice drawing free body diagrams and try their hands on many variety of challenging net force problems. What’s included in this resource? Explore Worksheet :Phet simulation (includes liks and QR codes to simulation) Free body diagram worksheet Net force practice problems ( 2 pages ) See preview to see sample sheets and Annswer Keys. Part 1: Explore Balanced and Unbalanced Forces In this parts, students explore how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an objects movement using PHET simulations. Through this activity, students arrive at their own conclusions regarding key ideas relating to forces, acceleration and friction. The worksheet provides easy-to-follow steps ( with pictures) to play the simulations. Part 2: Drawing Free body Diagrams In this second part, students read statements and draw free body diagrams to represent the forces being applied. Afterwards, they calculate the net forces and check if the the forces are balanced or unbalanced and whether the object will accelrate or not accelerate. Part 3: Net Forces Practice Questions In the last part, students will solve various net forces questions from simple to challenging ones. Page 1 involves simple calculations of addition and subtraction. Page 2 involves forces at right angles ( pythagoras theorem) and angles less or greater than 90 degrees ( law of cosine). It will be helpful if students have some knowledge before they begin page 2 as it is requires the use of various formulae. I have included answer keys and Teacher Guide to assist the teacher. GRADE LEVEL: Grades 7 to 9 The variety of activities make this lesson highly engaging for students. They not only get to “play” fun simulations but they can learn through the process. They can make their own conclusions rather than being told the correct answers. And finally, they can try simple to challenging problem set involving net forces and free body diagrams. I am confident that this resource will be valuable to you and your students. Thanks and have an amazing class! Please reach out at eazyscience221@gmail.com with feedback, and questions.

This product includes a lab activity to investigate when two liquids of different temperatures reach thermal equilibrium. There is a twist though. Student groups are challenged to compete among themselves. Groups must come up with creative ways to speed up the process and reach thermal equilibrium faster them any other group to win the competition. During this time they record the changes in temperature of the two liquids on their data table and graph their results at the end. I have included loads of ideas in the teacher’s note to help you nail this lesson. I have included the material lists, rules for the competition (fair play), safety rules and other important information. What do you get after purchasing this product? Pre-lab questions sheet Thermal equilibrium lab sheet (with picture of experiment set up ) Answer key to pre-lab questions Loads of useful information in teacher notes My kids love the competition aspect of this lab and each group comes up with crazy yet creative ways to win the 1st place.It’s both fun and engaging for them. The activity require very little time to prepare and a few materials to set up. I will be happy to hear your questions, feedback and comments at eazyscience221@gmail.com.
