Balanced or unbalanced forces?
This resource asks pupils to apply their knowledge of forces, resultant forces and the affect of forces on the motion of an object. The first task checks pupils' ability to be able to interpret force arrows to describe qualitatively the motion of a lorry and calculate the resultant force. Pupils are then asked to apply these skills to the forces acting on a cargo ship and how this affects its motion. The final task extends pupils' skills by asking what actions can be taken to change the forces acting on the cargo ship.The tasks in the resource could be used in class or as independent study tasks.
The activity includes:
- teacher notes
- adaptable presentation
- adaptable student activity sheet
- suggested responses
Further education resources that link the world of logistics to suitable lessons and subjects in school can be found on the Generation Logistics Education Hub.
