Forces between objects, contact and non-contact forces and force fields. Complete lesson.

A complete, and ready to deliver, high quality KS4 / GCSE lesson from Barclayfox.

For USA - this lesson is for use between 8th to 10th grade.

This is a complete lesson from start to end. You do not need to spend a huge number of hours carefully planning it and writing differentiated resources, I have already spent those hours creating this great lesson. Furthermore it has been improved time and again after each use – it is a tried and tested lesson of very high quality.

There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it.

Lesson objectives:
* Describe the difference between contact forces & non-contact forces.
* State examples of non-contact forces and relate them to real life scenarios.
* Describe what a force field is and what affects it.
* Understand how the strength of force is represented and how it changes with distance.

This carefully crafted lesson is over 30 slides long, and is full of learning activities as below:
* Notes to help the teacher.
* Starter - simple task where students self-assess against the objectives.
* Activity sheet (unique) - differentiated HA and LA and all answers are in the powerpoint.
* Practical / student experiment.
* Sorting activity
* Gap fill activity on the activity sheet - all answers are provided.
* Quiz with answers.
* Questions – all answers are provided.
* Peer marking / Self marking opportunities
* Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities, not ‘death by powerpoint’).
* Play ball.
* Paired work activities – all answers are provided.
* Homework
* Scientific Literacy activity.
* Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt.
* Extension activities - only for use if required.

As teachers we all work ridiculously long hours each week. Give yourself a break, spend some life with your wife / husband / children / friends / family by purchasing more lessons created by “Barclayfox” once they appear on TES. Please note: when searching for resources please type barclayfox into the search box/engine and it will show you all our resources.

0. Bundles – contain 3 or more of these lessons at a discounted price (however please note not all my series are bundled).
1. Vectors and scalars.
2. Forces between objects, contact and non-contact forces.
3. Forces and Newton’s third law (N3L).
4 to 12 - please see list in this powerpoint

Thank you, and happy teaching!
