Trusted teacher: Grade 8 Cambridge Checkpoint Science – Summary Lesson Plan Subject: Science Topic: Forces and Types of Forces Level: Grade 8 (Checkpoint) Duration: 60 minutes Lesson Objectives: By the end of this lesson, learners should be able to: * Define what a force is. * Identify and describe different types of forces. * Understand how forces affect motion. * Differentiate between contact and non-contact forces. * Apply knowledge of forces to real-world situations. Lesson Breakdown: Introduction (10 minutes) * Begin with a brief discussion: “What is a force?” * Display a few real-life examples (e.g., pushing a door, magnets attracting objects). * Define force as a push or pull upon an object resulting from its interaction with another object. * Introduce units of force: measured in Newtons (N) using a spring balance. Main Content (30 minutes) 1. Effects of Forces (5 mins) * A force can: * Start motion * Stop motion * Change the speed * Change the direction * Change the shape of an object 2. Types of Forces (25 mins) A.Contact Forces: * Occur when objects are physically touching. * Examples: Friction: A force that opposes motion between two surfaces. Air resistance: A type of friction acting on objects moving through air. Tension: Force transmitted through a rope, string, or cable. Normal force: The support force exerted upon an object in contact with another stable object. Applied Force: A force applied to an object by a person or another object. B. Non-contact Forces: * Act at a distance without physical contact. * Examples: Gravitational force: Attraction between two objects with mass (e.g., Earth and objects). Magnetic force: Force between magnetic poles. Electrostatic force: Force between charged particles. Class Activity (10 minutes) * Demonstration: Use a magnet and paperclips, or rub a balloon on hair to show static electricity. * Think-Pair-Share: Students list as many forces as they can find in their classroom environment. * Discuss their examples and categorize them as contact or non-contact forces. Conclusion (5 minutes) * Summarize key points: A force is a push or pull. Forces can cause changes in motion, shape, or state. Forces are either contact or non-contact. Understanding forces helps us explain many everyday phenomena. Exercise (5 minutes) Answer the following questions in your notebooks: 1. What is the unit of force and which instrument is used to measure it? 2. Name two contact forces and two non-contact forces. 3. Explain how friction can be both helpful and a hindrance in daily life. 4. A book is resting on a table. Identify and describe the forces acting on the book. 5. Differentiate between gravitational and magnetic force with examples.

★ A good teacher is above all a good pedagogue ★ Every student has a unique way of learning. A teacher's strength lies in their ability to identify this learning style and use it to teach in the most effective and engaging way possible. My approach is pragmatic and based on a close relationship with the student, essential for motivating and supporting them throughout their journey. I place particular emphasis on understanding concepts, learning methods, and visualizing situations through concrete examples. My primary goal is to improve my students' academic performance, but also to help them plan for their future and understand the mathematical logic underlying all concepts. Only by developing a deep and independent understanding can students truly master the subjects in the long term. Unlike an approach based solely on repeating exercises and learning by imitation, I firmly believe that only true understanding remains etched in the student's mind. The goal of my lessons is therefore to go beyond simple academic success, allowing my students to acquire a true understanding of mathematical concepts, thus preparing them for the rest of their academic career. To achieve this goal, I establish a relationship of trust and complicity with my students, transforming them into agents of their own learning. I prepare them not only for academic challenges, but also for the challenges of the professional world, cultivating their optimism and self-confidence—essential elements for any success and personal growth. Finally, with my experience and mastery of the subjects I teach, I am committed to defining clear and quantitative objectives, guaranteeing regular and personalized monitoring for each student.
