Elaborate/ Activity Plan: Understanding Force and Its Representation

Abstraction
Activity Title: Representing and Measuring Forces

Objective:
Students will learn to represent forces as vectors, identify differ
types of forces, and measure force magnitudes using a spr
balance.

Materials Needed:

 A spring balance
 A small object (e.g., a book, toy car, or box)
  Graph paper
 Rulers
 Markers or pencils
 Protractor (optional, for measuring angles)

Activity Proper (15 minutes):

Ask students to use a spring balance to measure the force requi

to lift a small object.
Record the reading in Newtons (N).

Part 2: Drawing Force Vectors

 On graph paper, represent the measured force as a vector.

 Use the scale (e.g., 1 cm = 10 N) to draw the correct length
the arrow.
 Label the arrow with the force magnitude and direction (e.g.,
N upward").

Part 3: Combined Forces

 Provide a scenario where multiple forces act on the same obj

(e.g., a 10 N force east and a 6 N force north).
 Ask students to represent these forces graphically and find
resultant force using vector addition.

Questions:

the object, and how did you represent this force on the grap

Extend/ Application Objective:
To encourage students to apply their understanding of force, fo
vectors, types of forces, and measuring forces to real-wo
scenarios and practical problem-solving.

Activity 1: Force Vector Analysis in Real Life

 Instructions:
Divide students into small groups and provide each gro
with different real-life scenarios (e.g., a car towing a traile
person pulling a sled, or an object being pushed up
inclined plane).
1. Ask the students to identify all the forces acting in
scenario.
2. Represent these forces as vectors using a diagram (e
draw force vectors such as gravitational for
frictional force, applied force, and normal force).
3. Indicate the magnitude and direction of each force.
4. Have the students calculate the net force acting on
object and predict its motion.

Activity 2: Measuring Force Using a Spring Scale

 Instructions:
Provide students with a spring scale and various objects
different weights.
o Ask students to measure the force required to lift e
object.
o Compare the measured force with the weight of
object (using the equation F=mgF = mg, where g=9
m/s2).
o Discuss how the measured force changes when
object is lifted vertically versus pulled at an angle.

Activity 3: Exploring Different Types of Forces

 Instructions:
Assign different stations around the classroom or lab, e
focused on a type of force:

1. Frictional Force: Students drag objects with differ

surface textures and observe the force required.
2. Tension Force: Use a string to pull weights
measure the force using a spring scale.
 3. Elastic Force: Provide rubber bands and weights
stretch them and measure the restoring force.

Students rotate through each station, perform the tasks, and rec
their observations. At the end, discuss how these forces interact a
affect motion in various scenarios.

Activity 4: Application to Engineering

 Instructions:
Present a challenge: Design a bridge or structure that
support a certain weight using popsicle sticks and glue.

o Ask students to calculate the forces acting on

structure (e.g., tension, compression) and pred
whether it will hold the required weight.
o Have them test their designs and analyze why so
structures succeed or fail based on force interactions

Reflection Questions:

1. How can understanding force vectors help in designing sa

buildings or vehicles?
2. Why is it important to measure forces accurately in scient
and engineering applications?
3. Can you think of a situation in everyday life where multi
forces act on an object? How can you analyze them us
vectors?
4. When pulling an object at an angle, why does the fo
required to move it differ compared to lifting it vertically?
5. How does surface texture affect the magnitude of frictio
force observed in the experiment?
6. In the spring scale activity, why might there be discrepanc
between the calculated weight (F=mgF = mgF=mg) and
measured force?
7. During the bridge design challenge, which type of fo
(tension or compression) was most critical in maintaining
stability of your structure? Why?
8. How would you use force vectors to analyze a situat
where two people are pushing an object from oppo
directions with unequal forces?
