Moments
Use the moment equation to balance systems, determine unknown weights, and plan simple weighing investigations.
Part of Year 9 Physics Foundations.
Topic Overview
What students will cover
This topic is a strong place to connect calculation and practical work. Students should see that moments are not just a formula but a way of describing balance and turning effects in real systems.
The practical lessons should help you visualise the relationship between distance and force.
