Two comprehensive and enjoyable lessons explaining balanced and unbalanced forces and speed for middle school science students studying forces. Each fully resourced topic comes with an engaging animated PowerPoint and a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. For each lesson a one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires. The PowerPoint also takes the student through planning an investigation to find the fastest person in the class.
