Forces in Year 7 Science
Start here
Focus on identifying contact and non-contact forces. Open support for “Explore the Causes and Impact of Friction”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 7 learners practise identifying contact and non-contact forces.
The activities include Explore the Causes and Impact of Friction, Explore the Contact Force of Tension, Interpret Force Diagrams, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, lesson, worksheet, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
