Week Learning objectives
1
Recall and use the equation ρ = m/v
Describe an experiment to determine the
density of a liquid and regular solid
Describe the determination of the density of
an irregular shaped solid by the method of
displacement
Predict whether an object will float based on
density data
2
Define speed and calculate from formula
Plot and interpret a speed-time graph or a
distance-time graph
Recognise from the shape of a speed-time
graph when a body is - at rest – moving with
constant speed – accelerating
Calculate the area under a speed-time graph
to work out the distance travelled for motion
with constant acceleration

Calculate speed / acceleration from gradient
of distance-time speed-time graph
Distinguish between speed and velocity
Understand deceleration as a negative
acceleration
Recognise that a force may produce a change
in size and shape of a body

on a body it either remains at rest or
continues at constant speed in a straight line

mass and acceleration F = ma
