This unit is about Force, Motion, and Energy (Newton’s Laws of Motion)

Consider this question:

● What happens when force is applied to a body at rest or a body that is in motion?
● How does a body respond to changes in motion?
● What is the relationship between the amount of force applied and the mass of the
object to the amount of change in the object’s motion?
● How would you relate the acceleration of the body to the force applied to it?

 Activity 2: Identifying Forces

In this activity, the students are asked to identify the kind(s) of forces being
represented from the given illustrations.

Duration: approximately five minutes

Teacher’s Preparation:
● Prepare a slide containing the pictures shown below.

Procedure:
1. Ask the students to identify the kind of force(s) present in each image. The
pictures to be shown are given below.

PEAC2020 Page 2
 Activity 3: Illustrating Forces through Free-Body Diagrams (FBD)
In this activity, the students are asked to draw free-body diagrams to illustrate
forces acting on a particular object or body.

Duration: approximately five minutes

Teacher’s Preparation:
● Prepare the table below as a worksheet for students.

Procedure:
1. If worksheets are available, distribute them in pairs. If not, students will
still do it by pairs on the blackboard/whiteboard. Student A will draw the object and the
arrows on the free-body diagram, while Student B will label
the arrows based on the type of force it represents.
