Can't Stand Up?
Produced by the Maths Magic project, Can’t Stand Up? provides teacher inspiration for introducing the topic of forces in an A-level mathematics or physics lesson. The plan describes two simple experiments asking a student to stand against a wall and then attempt to perform seemingly simple tasks. The tasks are designed to generate discussion about how forces act on the body and lead to the mathematical modelling of the forces involved.
