6. Forces

7. Engage
Work on the DO FIRST:
Net force: __________________________

8. Visual Explore
As we watch the video about the sky diver, jot down answers to the following questions:
What forces are acting on the sky diver? __________________________
When were the forces balanced? __________________________________________ ___________________
When was the sky diver accelerating? __________________________________________ ___________________

9. NEW Information A force is a PUSH or PULL.
Forces can cause objects to change location and direction, meaning forces can cause objects to MOVE.
Forces are described by their STRENGTH & their DIRECTION (In Which it Acts).

10. Balanced VS Unbalanced
An object that is not accelerating is acted on by ­­­­­­­­­­­­­BALANCED forces. (It could be in constant motion or constant state of rest)
An object that is accelerating is acted on by UNBALANCED forces.
Ask yourself, is the object accelerating (changing speed or direction)?

11. So, how do we know if it’s Balanced or Unbalanced: Calculate the Net Force!
A net force is the sum of all the forces on one object. It is written as a NUMBER, a UNIT (Newtons), and a DIRECTION.
If the net force = 0, then the forces are balanced.
If the net force does not = 0, the forces are unbalanced.

12. Steps for Calculating Net Force
First, we must identify the DIRECTION of the forces (Are they in the same direction or opposite?).
Second, we can find out the VECTOR (how strong) the force is.
Opposite forces should be SUBTRACTED.
Forces in the same direction should be ADDED.

13. Guided Practice
5 N
10 N
Which force is stronger (will overpower the other)? ___________________
What direction will the object move? ____________________
Now to find the magnitude of the net force in that directions we subtract the two forces to find the difference.
10 N (West) – 5 N (East) =
Note: You need to do this in the vertical and horizontal directions!

14. Guided Practice – CFU Question 1:
Are the forces in the same or opposite direction?
___________________
Will one force overpower the other? If yes, in what direction?
___________________________
So what is the NET FORCE?
________________________
Circle One: Balanced or Unbalanced?

15. Guided Practice – CFU QUESTION 2
Are the forces in the same or opposite direction?
___________________________
Will one force overpower the other? If
yes, in what direction?
_________________________________
What is the NET FORCE acting on the
hot-air balloon?
Circle One: balanced or unbalanced

1. Work with a partner to write a description of this race using these words.
a. Speed
b. Constant Speed
c. Average Speed
d. Velocity
e. Acceleration

27. Student Activity 2. volunteers to read their description.
Common Misconception(s)
- Velocity is another word for speed. An object's speed and velocity are always the same.
- Acceleration is confused with speed.
- Acceleration always means that an object is speeding up.

31. Station lab
Explore It! –I will spend much of my time at this station making sure that the students are building the model correctly. The teacher will mark out a start/finish line with tape that is 10 meters apart. You can use whatever distance works for your class. Students will need a timer (phone). You may need to help them fill in the data table
Illustrate It! –Each member of the group will draw a quick sketch on the lab sheet the shows they understand the concept that is being taught. Use the map colors and markers that are provided. The directions for the sketch are provided on the task card at the table.
Read It! – Each member of the group will read the passage and answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Read It! section. The Research, Explore, or Watch it station should be completed first.
Watch It! – The video is casesensitive. The original link is
Every student will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Watch It! section of the lab sheet.
Organize It! – The cards for this activity are attached near the end of this file. I keep several sets in Ziploc bags. I simply want student to be able to determine the differences between distance, time, and direction. I provide bonus points if students can align them all together by doing the math.
Write It! – Students should be encouraged to do the Research and Explore stations before attempting this one. Answer each of the task card questions on the lab sheet in complete sentences.
Research It! – The goo.gl link on the task card is case-sensitive. The original link is
Assess It! – Students should be encouraged to do the Research and Explore station before attempting this one. Each member will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Assess It! section.
