This 3-DAY, 63 slide Force Introduction lesson package begins with an Overview of Force which requires students to collaboratively think about the topic and create a definition. The Four Fundamental Forces are discussed as well as the Forces all around us. It then gets more specific and talks about Normal, Friction and Tension forces as well as the difference between a Contact and an Action at a distance force. Ways of Measuring force as well as System and Free-Body Diagrams, Finding Fnet and Force vectors finish the lesson.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
