Forces and Motion

From Teachers TV, this video shows four examples of lessons on forces and motion that are suitable for primary school children. Part of the Great Lessons Ideas series, it contains these ideas for lessons: Year Two teacher Jess Scott demonstrates how to teach the forces of pushing and pulling by inspiring her...

Part of a series of books which provide science projects for children to carry out by themselves. Each project helps them to learn the answers to a scientific question by following fully-illustrated, step-by-step...

Part of an accessible series on core science topics such as matter, metals, plants and gravity.

All movement depends on forces, and forces hold the universe in balance. This book explores forces, from simple pushes and pulls to the force of gravity that keeps our feet on the ground.

Forces and Motion Basics

This simulation allows students to explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.

Learning outcomes include:

*Identify whether...

An unfamiliar noise stops shoppers in their tracks: cars and a truck are crashing into each other. Fortunately no-one is hurt seriously, but what has caused the accident?

This book looks at the topics of...

Forces and Motion: The Physics of Car Crashes *suitable for home teaching*

This film clip uses slow motion footage filmed during car crash testing to explore how energy is distributed during the fractions of a second when cars crash. The clip explores ideas of inertia, resultant forces, energy and momentum, but applies it in the real world context of designing air bags, crumple zones...
