4. FORCES AND ENERGY
3. FORCES AND MOVEMENT

Content Standard & Indicator

B6.4.3.1.1
Know that movement is caused by applied forces due to the release of stored energy
Recognise the relationship between energy and forces
Learners will recognise the relationship between energy and forces by explaining why greater force is needed to move heavier objects
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving (CP) Communication and Collaboration (CC)
force energy movement weight effort

  • 1Recall examples of forces in daily Ghanaian activities and identify the effort required
  • 2Ask learners: What do you do when you carry a heavy bucket of water from the well versus an empty bucket — which needs more effort? Learners whisper answers to their partner
  • UNDERSTANDING FORCE AND EFFORT IN EVERYDAY TASKS
  • 1Write on the chalkboard: "Kofi pulls a light wooden stool across the compound. Kwame pulls a heavy table the same distance. Who uses more force?" Learners copy the scenario into their exercise books and write their prediction in one sentence. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved.
  • 2Demonstrate with two learners at the front: one pulls an imaginary light object (chair) smoothly, the other mimes pulling a heavy bag of maize with visible strain. Ask the class: What is different? (Answer: the heavier object needs more force/effort). Record the word "force" and "effort" on the board. Use Textbook during the task. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved.
  • 3Pair learners: Using the Textbook page on forces, pairs read one example of applying force (e.g. pushing a cart, lifting a pot of water) and identify in their exercise books whether it requires light or heavy force

  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Chalkboard
  • 1Learners stand and mime three actions: (1) lifting a light feather, (2) lifting a heavy bag of cassava, (3) pulling a loaded trotro — class identifies which needs most force and claps once for light, twice for heavy
  • 2Ask aloud: Why is it easier to pull a book than a table? Take three choral responses and confirm: the table is heavier, so it needs more force
Exercise
  • 1Explain in two sentences why a farmer using a cutlass to weed a field needs more energy and force than using their hand to pick single leaves in their exercise books.
