Cycling, Physics and the Teaching of Forces
de Winter, James; Denton, Alan
School Science Review, v103 n382 p37-42 Sep 2021
The bicycle is one of the greatest locomotive machines ever invented. It is also a perfect vehicle for you to teach some of the ideas that are taught in forces topics to 11- to 16-year-olds. In this article we look at some of the ways in which you can use the bicycle and cycling to provide an alternative and engaging context for teaching some of these ideas.
