Forces in Year 7 Science
Start here
Focus on contact and non-contact forces explained. Start with “Explore the Causes and Impact of Friction”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 7 learners practise contact and non-contact forces explained.
The activities include Explore the Causes and Impact of Friction, Explore the Contact Force of Tension, Interpret Force Diagrams, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, lesson, worksheet, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
Activities covered
- Explore the Causes and Impact of Friction
- Explore the Contact Force of Tension
- Interpret Force Diagrams
- Investigate Friction Through an Experiment
- Investigate the Electrostatic Force
- Learn About Magnetism as a Non-Contact Force
- Measure Forces
- Understand Force Diagrams and Resultant Forces
- Understand Stretching
- Understand the Difference Between Contact Forces and Non-Contact Forces
