The lesson plan for Understanding Forces and Motion in Everyday Life is designed to help home educating parents and carers guide learners through the basic principles of physics using real-world examples. From kicking a football to riding a bicycle, this plan explores how invisible forces shape the way we move and interact with the world around us.

The lesson breaks down key concepts like gravity, friction, inertia, and different types of motion into simple language, with plenty of discussion ideas and hands-on activities. It includes a variety of creative and practical tasks to support different learning styles and age ranges, encouraging young people to think critically, make predictions, and relate science to their daily experiences.

Ideal for Elective Home Education, this resource is flexible and can be used as a stand-alone lesson or as part of a larger study on physical science or STEM topics. With clear learning goals and ready-to-use prompts, parents can confidently explore this fascinating subject, even if they don’t have a formal science background.
