Understanding Forces and Mass: Key Concepts in Physics
This lesson aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of forces and mass. By the end of the session, learners will be familiar with the names of the main forces, grasp the difference between mass (measured in kilograms) and weight (measured in Newtons), and be able to calculate mass and weight using the formula Weight (N) = Mass (kg) x Gravity. Interactive activities, including completing force diagrams and using mini whiteboards for practice problems, will reinforce the material covered.
