Learning objectives (from the Cambridge Specification 0972):

 State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer
 State that weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass
 Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation g = W m
and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall
 Know that weights (and masses) may be compared using a balance

3 Introducing the lesson and lead in
 begin with a thought-provoking question: "Imagine you're on the moon. Would you weigh the same as you do on Earth?"
 Allow students to share their initial thoughts.
 Explain that today's lesson will explore the concepts of mass and weight.
 Introduce the key terms:

 Mass: The amount of matter in an object (remains constant regardless of location).

 Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object (changes depending on the gravitational pull).

4 Procedure:
Activity 2: Measuring Mass and Weight (20 minutes)

 Materials: Balance, spring scale, various objects

 Procedure:
1. Divide students into groups.
2. Provide each group with a balance and spring scale.
 3. Ask students to measure the mass and weight of different objects.
4. Discuss the relationship between mass and weight.

Learning objectives (from the Cambridge Specification 0972):

 Know that forces may produce changes in the size and shape of an object
 Sketch, plot and interpret load–extension graphs for an elastic solid and describe the associated experimental
procedures
 Determine the resultant of two or more forces acting along the same straight line
 Know that an object either remains at rest or continues in a straight line at constant speed unless acted on by
a resultant force
 State that a resultant force may change the velocity of an object by changing its direction of motion or its
speed

3 Introducing the lesson and lead in

Start by showing a video of a car accelerating and decelerating. Ask students to describe what's
happening to the car's speed and introduce the concept of acceleration.then ask what is the
reason of acceleration
4 Procedure:
 Show students images or videos of objects in motion.
 Ask students to identify the forces acting on the objects.

  Discuss the different types of forces (contact and non-contact forces).

 Demonstrate the concept of normal force using a spring scale.

 Have students experiment with friction by pushing or pulling objects across different surfaces.

 Discuss the factors that affect friction (e.g., surface roughness, weight of the object).

6 Plenary and reflection:
1. Understanding Forces: Forces are interactions that can change the motion of an
object. They can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.
2. Types of Forces:
 Gravitational Force: Attractive force between two masses. It governs planetary
 motion.
 Frictional Force: Opposes the motion of objects in contact.
 Tension Force: Force exerted by a string or rope when pulled tight.

Learning objectives (from the Cambridge Specification 0972):

 Assess students' grasp of the basic concepts of motion, including types of motion (uniform,
accelerated) and the relationship between distance, speed, and time.
 Evaluate comprehension of different types of forces (gravitational, frictional, tension, etc.) and
their effects on motion.

 Test the ability to read and interpret various motion graphs (position vs. time, velocity vs.
time, acceleration vs. time).
 Assess skills in identifying features of motion graphs, such as slopes, areas under curves,
and shapes representing different types of motion.
