Suggestions for use: Use this lesson as a self discovery investigative challenge on the effect of forces on football match. From your art & craft lesson, you should have constructed your football pitch to play on. Set pupils up in pairs. The winner of each match will rotate onto each stadium to play the next person. Winner with most rotation of stadiums is the overall winner. In this task, students have been applying forces and using tactics to overcome forces of their opponent. Subsequently, after the matches are over, get pupils to reflect on the effect of their forces by using the worksheet in pairs. Plenary: Feed back to class and glue worksheet into books for future reference.
