Newton's 2nd Law: Interactive HTML &PPT

Newton’s Second Law is fundamental, but it is surprisingly easy for students to learn the equation without understanding the physics.
This resource is designed to change that.

Unique to bedrock physics (at the time of writing), you get an interactive HTML page that allows students to see and investigate the physics for themselves.

###Powerpoint lesson
to take students from first principles to exam application.
*Smart Start / Do Now - activate prior knowledge and get students thinking from the outset
*Clear explanations - build the key ideas step by step, with a focus on genuine understanding
*Misconceptions put right - confront the common ways students misunderstand Newton’s Second Law
*Exam-style questions - apply the ideas in the way students will encounter them at GCSE.

###Interactive HTML
just double click the file to open in a browser
*Practise finding the resultant force
*Explore the relationship between force, mass and acceleration
*Answer questions correctly to unlock educational games
*Ideal for teacher demonstration, paired work or independent learning. Makes great quality cover lesson work too.
*Runs directly in a web browser, on smartboard, ipads, laptops, no internet required.

HTML page contains teaching blocks, differentiated questions, games locked behind quiz questions that students must answer correctly to access the educational games.
Games involve the type of transport and sporting scenarios you might meet in exam questions…
A head-to-head race between various types of transport.
Calculate the acceleration of each vehicle from the force and mass, then watch the race unfold.
A game of curling,
Push the stone with the force of your choice, then let go and watch as the unbalanced resistive forces bring the stone to a halt. The closer to the target, the more points you score. Resistive forces tied to curling stone speed with accurate physics.
A sled challenge.
Get a variable number of sledging penguins over the bridge to their fishy lunch. Get the force and the mass right, because if the acceleration too high the bucket of fish gets knocked flying, but too low and seagulls get the fish before penguins arrive.
