Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Science, focusing on forces and their effects on objects.

Objectives

• Understand the basic concept of force and its units of measurement (Newtons).
• Identify examples of forces in daily life.
• Recognize the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• PowerPoint presentation or slides (optional)
• Force cards (examples of forces like gravity, friction, tension, etc.)
• Markers and paper for group activities
• Short video clip demonstrating forces in action (optional)

Homework

• Complete a worksheet on different types of forces.
• Write a brief reflection on how forces affect movement in everyday life, to be submitted without oral presentation.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Force	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of force. Ask students what they know and build on their prior knowledge. Present an engaging video clip about forces.
2	Types of Forces	10 minutes	Use force cards to discuss different types of forces (gravity, friction, magnetic force, etc.). Involve students by asking for examples in real life.
3	Effects of Forces	5 minutes	Explain balanced vs. unbalanced forces. Use practical examples and illustrations on the whiteboard to clarify.
4	Group Activity	7 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Each group chooses a type of force, discusses its effects, and prepares a short list of examples.
5	Class Discussion	3 minutes	Facilitate a brief discussion where each group shares their findings without presentations. Encourage questions and insights from peers.
6	Summary and Q&A	2 minutes	Recap the key points about forces and their effects. Allow students to ask any final questions.

Assessment

• Observational assessment during discussions and group activities.
• Review of homework worksheets for understanding.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that all students feel comfortable participating in discussions.
• Be ready to adapt activities based on the needs and responses of the students.
• Encourage students to ask questions and relate concepts to their experiences for better engagement.
