• Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
• Science, Key Stage 1, Working Scientifically
• Pupils should be taught to use practical scientific methods, processes and skills through performing simple tests.
• Science, Lower Key Stage 2, Working Scientifically
• Setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests.
• Calibrated in Newtons and grams, these spring balances are essential for teaching forces and motion.
• Essential for exploring forces, these spring balances are available in six sizes to cater to different educational needs and ages.
• The spring balance force meters offer a rich educational experience by making force measurements tangible and understandable. Calibrated in both Newtons and grams, these tools bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application. Made from durable plastic and available in six sizes, they're designed for longevity in diverse learning environments. Measuring 160mm in length and 20mm in diameter, they are suitable for hands-on experimentation.
• Integral to the teaching of forces, the meters provide a solid foundation for conducting simple tests in Key Stage 1 and Lower Key Stage 2, reinforcing essential scientific enquiry skills.
Through facilitating practical investigations, these force meters promote an engaging approach to force measurement and teaching physics that sparks curiosity and enhances understanding among children, proving indispensable for dynamic science lessons.
