● Constructivism: Teacher and students discuss how to
resolve a vector into two components, and relate it to the
forces acting on the car moves up a hill.
● Inquiry
Teachers give students examples of vector diagram of a
man sliding on a waterslide and ask the students to find his
acceleration going down.
● Questioning: Teacher asks the students to analyse kinds of
forces acting on a car moves up hill and draw it on a paper.
● Learning community: Teacher asks each group to present
their discussion result.

on his body.
● Inquiry
a. Experiment to find the centre of gravity of an
oddly shaped piece of cardboard, using a plumb-
line, stand and clamp, cork and supporting pin.

2. Main activity (70’)
● Teacher asks students to pair up.
● Discuss in pairs the occasions when they have applied
a force to something which resulted in a turning motion
today, and make a list. The suggestions could be
brought together to make a longer group list. Examples
could include turning on a tap, or opening or closing a
door.
● Teacher demonstrate that the turning effect depends on
both the magnitude of the force applied and the distance
of its point of application from the pivot with a simple
experiment using a newton meter to open a door at
different distance from the pivot.
Big Question :

the case of a single turning
force which has a moment
about a pivot, and a
couple, which always
consists of two forces,
equal and opposite, which
produce a torque.
● Torque (of a couple)
