A clear, engaging and accessible first lesson in the Year 7 Forces unit. This lesson introduces pupils to the fundamental idea of what a force is, how we measure forces, and how forces affect objects in the real world. Designed with concise explanations, visual modelling and plenty of opportunities for pupil talk, this lesson builds the foundation for all later learning in the unit.
Pupils explore contact and non‑contact forces, practise using force arrows to represent direction and size, and apply their understanding to everyday examples. The lesson includes a PowerPoint and worksheet (no specific details mentioned), with a strong focus on scientific vocabulary and misconceptions.
