Forces – Gravity

£125.00

The purpose of this lesson is for children to learn that gravity is a force that pulls downwards, and air pressure is a force that pushes upwards. Forces are measured in units called Newtons using force meters. Gravity differs on different planets because it depends on the mass of the planet. Weight (Newtons) = mass (kg) x gravity.The box comes with Lesson plan, Whole class teaching PowerPoint, Teacher video tutorial and the following equipment: There are 4 labs in this box: a teacher demonstration and 3 pupil investigations.
