Year-7 Physics Forces: Weight and Mass
In this Year-7 Physics Forces: Weight and Mass lesson, students will learn the difference between weight and mass. They will discover how to calculate weight from mass and gravitational field strength. Finally they will explore the units that mass (kg) and weight (N) are measured in, and how weight is different on other planets.
The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- A starter activity
- Group reading (literacy)
- Keywords task (vocabulary: mass, weight and gravitational field strength)
- Handout sheet
- Comprehension task
- Numeracy task
- Answer slides included for self-assessment

Next Lesson: Balancing Forces
In this lesson students will understand the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces, identify a state of equilibrium and explain why unbalanced forces can change the speed or direction of an object’s motion.
