Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Review previous lesson on forces and their effects with learners from B2. - Ask learners the following questions: What is force? How is force described? What forces do you observe in everyday life? - Learners engage in simple demonstrations on how forces cause movement. (1) Rubbing pens in the hair and using it to pick pieces of paper. (2) Using a magnet to attract iron nails or pins. (3) Throwing stones into water in a bucket will cause the water to shake. (4) Push a toy car down on the floor.
