Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding the effects of force helps pupils grasp how objects move, stop, or change shape, which is important in daily life for tasks like playing sports, opening doors, and other mechanical activities.

Prerequisite/previous Knowledge

Pupils already understand the meaning and examples of force and can relate it to pushing or pulling objects.

Lesson content

Effects Of force

Force is a push or pull on an object.It can have various effects. These include:

1. Force can make an object move: Such as, when you push a chair, it starts moving.
2. force can stop a moving object: For instance, catching a ball in motion stops its movement.
3. Force can change the direction of an object: Kicking a rolling ball can make it change direction.
4. Force can change the shape of an object: stretching a rubber band shows how force changes its shape.
5. Force can increase or decrease the speed of an object: Pushing a swing harder increases its speed.

3. Describe a situation where force changes the direction of an object.

Differentiation

• for slower learners: Provide simpler examples and hands-on activities with direct supervision.
• For advanced learners: Challenge them to research different types of forces and their effects.
• For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, verbal explanations, and physical demonstrations to cater to different learning styles.

Note for Teachers

Feel free to use everyday objects to make the demonstration relatable for pupils. Ensure active participation by asking questions throughout the lesson. Encourage pupils to share their observations during group activities. Happy teaching!
