Steve Davies, a science inspector, discusses with Zoe Lowe, her lesson on weight, mass and gravity forces. Pupils revisit this topic at KS3 and 4 and Steve acknowledges that it is a challenging topic for primary school children due to the technical nature of the scientific language. The opening class discussion highlights the children's misconceptions. Zoe and Steve acknowledge the importance of this, but recognise it's also important to put them to one side in order not to confuse the issues. They also emphasise the importance of open-ended question and correct usage of scientific terms. Steve points out that when Zoe introduces the activity with Newton meters, some pupils achieve inaccurate readings because they have not realized the equipment has different scales. Steve suggests they could have weighed the same object together as a class to begin for greater clarity in the task.
