Big idea
Motion, Forces & Equilibrium is one of the important strands in Physics. At SS 1 level, your goal is to build core vocabulary, mental models and confidence. Use measurement and models to understand motion, energy, waves, electricity and physical systems.
How to learn this well
- Identify the important words, symbols, people, processes or rules connected to the topic.
- Explain each idea in your own words before memorising details.
- Connect the idea to a familiar example, diagram, text, event or problem.
- Check your understanding by answering without looking back at the notes.
Key questions
- What are the central ideas in Motion, Forces & Equilibrium?
- How are those ideas connected?
- Where would you recognise or use this knowledge?
Use a diagram, table, timeline, worked example, labelled sketch, graphic organiser or concept map that makes Motion, Forces & Equilibrium easier to see.
Active-learning task
