2. Starter
90 seconds to make a paper aeroplane.

3. Laboratory Rules
Place bags out of the way, blazers on hooks, stools under benches when doing practical work.
Listen carefully to instructions, never touch apparatus before being instructed to do so.
Work on a neat and tidy bench space.
Do not run or push past people.
Report breakages and faulty apparatus immediately.
No eating or drinking at any time.
Wear goggles when instructed to do so.

4. Starter 90 seconds to make a paper aeroplane.
What have paper aeroplanes got to do with physics?

5. What is Physics?

6. Electricity

7. Streamlining, electricity, friction

8. The sun, the seasons

9. Making electricity

10. Waves,

12. EM Spectrum, radio waves

13. Balanced and unbalanced forces – lift overcomes weight

14. Turning forces/ balancing

15. However all physicists in the past have relied upon taking accurate observations.

16. Learning Objectives
Accurately use correct equipment to take some measurements. (level 3)
Suggest the appropriate units of measurement for measuring different objects. State the number of mm in a cm, m and km. List some real life applications of physics. (level 4)
Convert between mm, cm, m and km. (level 5)
Use this skill to calculate the actual size of objects drawn to scale (level 5/6)

17. 2nd starter How many lengths of A4 paper would a cow measure?
Link to the need for standard units of measurement

18. Your task…
Use the correct piece of equipment to accurately measure the following:
Someone’s height.
The length of your little finger.
The dimensions of your homework diary.
The thickness of your earlobe.
Estimate the distance from school to your home.
Write the name of the object and it’s length in your books
Discuss mm, cm, m, km

19. Length Length is measured in millimetres mm centimetres cm metres m
kilometres km
We shall most often be using mm.
All measurements of length should be as accurate
as possible.
If a ruler has mm on it, you should measure to the
nearest mm!

27. How to convert between different units of length
mm  cm divide by 10
cm  mm multiply by 10
cm  m divide by 10
m  cm multiply by 1000
m  Km divide by 1000
Km  m multiply by 10
Now complete the first 5 conversions on the sheet. If you find it easy, do the last 5 as well. Otherwise, do the first 10 only.
