CBSE Class 8 Science Activity A Forseful Story

 FORCE AND PRESSURE

Teacher: What helps you to lift your school bag?

Students: Our muscular force.

Teacher: (Drops a piece of chalk on the ground). And what makes this chalk fall down?“Gravity”, shouted the students.

Teacher: Good! All of you seem to have understood the different types of forces that we learnt last week. Now let  us do something different and interesting. Write a story!

What to do: 

Form groups with four students in each group. You have to create an action story where examples of  different types of forces must be mentioned. Here is an example for you --- Suraj and Iqbal spent an enjoyable day at the amusement park. They took part in a cycle race,  pedalling  hard  (muscular  force)  to  reach  the  finishing  line.  Iqbal  was  lucky  and  caught  ten  iron  fish  with  his  magnetic  fishing  rod  (magnetic  force). Meanwhile  at  the  next  stall,  Suraj  knocked down  (impulse  force) six wooden bottles with the balls he threw (muscular force). Each one won him a prize. He was  less lucky at the bowling alley, where his  balls slowed down (friction)too soon and could not get him any  prizes. Tired but happy, they  walked (muscular force)  home. 

Before you begin, remember that each one of you in the group has an important role to play. One of you  will  be  the  coordinator,  who  has  to  make  sure  that  everyone  in  your  group  participates  and  gets  to  contribute to the story. Another member of your group will be the time keeper, who will keep a watch on  the time and ensure that the story is written within the allotted time. One of you will be the recorder,  who will write the story as it develops. Last, but not the least will be the reader, who will read out the  story, loud and clear, to the rest of the class.

Remember to underline phrases in your story where examples of forces are mentioned.  Go on and let your creative ideas flow!
