This resource bundle includes seven PowerPoint lessons designed to introduce and explore key concepts about forces. Aligned with high school physics curricula, these lessons provide a comprehensive framework for understanding foundational physics topics and applying them to real-world scenarios.

Included Lessons:

1. Scalars and Vectors
   This lesson introduces scalar and vector quantities, emphasizing their differences and applications. Students learn to represent vectors using diagrams and solve basic vector problems with guided practice.

2. Introduction to Forces
   An engaging overview of forces, including contact and non-contact forces. Students explore common forces such as gravity, friction, and tension and learn to measure forces using a newton meter through practical activities.

3. Resultant Forces
   Students learn to calculate the resultant force when multiple forces act on an object. The lesson explains equilibrium, balanced and unbalanced forces, and how they affect motion, with interactive examples.

4. Parallelogram of Forces
   This lesson introduces the parallelogram method for calculating the resultant force when two forces act at an angle. It includes step-by-step instructions for drawing scale diagrams and solving vector problems.

5. Centre of Mass
   Students explore the concept of the center of mass, including how to find it in symmetrical and irregular objects. The lesson also covers the relationship between center of mass and stability, with hands-on activities and visual aids.

6. Forces, Elasticity and Hooke’s Law
   This lesson examines elastic and inelastic deformation, Hooke’s Law, and force-extension graphs. Students practice calculating forces, spring constants, and extensions using real-world examples.

7. Springs Practical Hooke’s Law
   A hands-on investigation of the relationship between force and extension in springs. Students apply Hooke’s Law, calculate spring constants, and analyze experimental data to understand material behavior.

Resource Features:
Each PowerPoint includes interactive starter activities, clear explanations, visual aids, and problem-solving tasks. Practical experiments and real-life applications reinforce theoretical concepts, ensuring comprehensive understanding. All files are editable ‘.pptx’ formats, enabling customization for specific class needs.
