  • 2️⃣ Newton's Second Law
  • 3️⃣ Newton's Third Law
  • Momentum

How it is interactive

  • 8 multiple-choice questions
  • 2 true or false questions
  • 1 fill-in-the-blank question
  • 1 sentence-writing task

Feedback and what you get

Questions are marked automatically as pupils answer: a sound and a character reaction show straight away whether they are right, and correct answers earn points, with a results screen at the end. Sentence-writing tasks are for pupils' own answers and are not marked automatically.

Why do passengers lurch forward when a bus brakes suddenly? Newton's laws explain how forces change motion. This 22-slide interactive lesson on Newton's laws takes pupils from first ideas to exam-style explanations, with 13 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching Newton's Laws and Momentum in GCSE Physics

Pupils calculate resultant forces, use Newton's first law to explain balanced forces and inertia, and use F = m × a and W = m × g in calculations. They identify third-law force pairs, calculate momentum with p = m × v, apply conservation of momentum to a collision and explain how seatbelts, airbags and helmets reduce the force on the body.

What Pupils Will Learn

  • Calculate the resultant force on an object.
  • 1⃣ Use Newton's first law to explain balanced forces and inertia.
  • 2⃣ Use F = m × a and W = m × g in calculations.
  • 3⃣ Identify Newton's third law force pairs.
  • Calculate momentum and use conservation of momentum.

What’s Included

  • 22-slide interactive lesson
  • 13 self-marking activities: multiple-choice questions, true-or-false checks, drag-and-drop categorising and fill-in-the-gap questions
  • Step-by-step teaching cards that reveal one point at a time
  • A written explanation task with a model answer for self-assessment

Why Teachers Love It

  • No prep — open it on an interactive whiteboard, laptop or tablet
  • Instant feedback explains every answer, right or wrong
  • Everyday examples make physics feel real
