Forces • Whatis a force? • Whatunitisforcemeasured in? • What do we use tomeasureforces?
FORCE STATIONS Go round thestations. Write at leasttwosentencesforeachstation.
Weight and mass • Whatistheunit of weight? • How can youmeasureweight? • Whatistheunit of mass? • How can youmeasuremass? • How do I changeweighttomassonearth?
Conclusion Level 3 • Whenthemassisbiggertheweight… Level 4 • Numberexamples e.g.whenthemassis 10g theweightis 0.1N Level 5 • Whydoesthishappen? • Can you describe thepatternusing a formula? Weight = …. • Are thereanyresultsthat do notfitthepattern?

Friction and energy When friction occurs heat energy is produced Kinetic energy Heat energy
Friction • Friction is a force which opposes the motion of 2 objects • It makes it harder for things to slide • Friction can occur between solids, and for anything moving through a liquid or gas What examples of friction can you think of?
