  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to do Physics through the context of Fast and Furious by applying our knowledge of Newton's 1st in our experiment so we justify what forces are acting on objects and how to calculate forces.

    Balanced and Unbalanced Forces. - ppt download

    Kia Orana ākonga, 

    This week we will be looking at the different types of forces but more in-depth. We will begin with balanced and unbalanced forces, how to do force diagrams and calculated forces and net forces acting on objects. I will also be introducing you to Newton's 1st law of intertia alongside this. 

    Plan for the week is as follows: 

    Monday: Balanced/Unbalanced forces, net forces and drawing force diagrams. On Googleclassroom I have attached a worksheet for you to practice calculating forces. I will also show you the Newton/force meters and if we have time you will measure the forces on your bag and other objects in the lab.

    Thursday/Friday: Drawing graphs for your experiment from Wednesday 

    Homework: EP ( Forces, graphs) 

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

      • To identify forces.

      • To use force arrows in diagrams.

      • To compare balanced and unbalanced forces and observe these in race cars.

      • To link these to Newton’s 1st law of intertia
