Forces and Cannons: This lesson is designed to recap the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and to use this as a stepping-stone to the quantitative relationship between force, mass and acceleration. Pupils build their own 'alka-seltzer' cannon and consider how to devise an experimental procedure to ascertain the forces generated during the firing of the cannon.
