Wow! This is an important Physics topic, your first topic in the S2 physics course. All the info you cover in class is given below. We will start at the beginning but can rush through the bits that you’ve covered in primary.
Forces powerpoint and powerpoint pdf file for 2021 onwards
REST of THE WORLD
This sheet gives you details of what need to know for this block and for the test.
This is the workbook that you will use in class, get your own copy here, or use it to copy up what you’ve missed.
Here is the copy of the homework booklet, you can make a start on it whenever you’ve time and get ahead. Make sure you hand homework in on time.

| Hmwk Piece | Wk No | S2 Physics Homework Tasks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Complete a title page called FORCES |
| 2 | 1 | In the back of your jotter write a piece “What I learned about myself in S1 Science” This is not the topics that you covered- I know those, but what did you learn about yourself, your ability to think for yourself, try tasks etc. What skills have you learned . |
| 3 | 2 | Forces Walk |
| 4 | Hookes Law table & Hookes Law graph (this is an assessment piece) | |
| 5 | Literacy Task | |
| 6 | Answering the mass and weight questions | |
| 1st June 2019 | All | Revise the work you’ve completed this week and previous weeks |
If you haven’t got results for the Hooke’s Law Assessment use the ones below. Copy the results into Excel, find the average extension using the formula =average(range) . Then plot a graph of Weight against average extension.
| Weight | Extension (cm) | Extension (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| (N) | ‘/1 | ‘/2 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 2.4 | 2.3 |
| 2 | 4.8 | 4.8 |
| 3 | 7.2 | 7.3 |
| 4 | 9.6 | 9.6 |
| 5 | 12 | 12.1 |
| 6 | 14.4 | 14.2 |
| 7 | 16.8 | 16.5 |
| 8 | 19.2 | 19.1 |
| 9 | 21.6 | 21.5 |
| 10 | 24 | 23.9 |
There is a separate post on EXCEL with details of how to create a table of results and plot a graph in Excel, which is useful for all students studying Physics, and other Sciences too- a useful life skill.
