This ready-to-use cover lesson worksheet, adapted from my popular Moments (turning forces) resource, is ideal for unexpected staff absences and allows KS3 students to develop their understanding of moments and how to calculate them through clear explanations and engaging activities. Designed for independent learning, it minimises classroom disruption and requires minimal teacher input. With structured tasks, supportive materials, and detailed answer sheets, the resource enables confident delivery by non-specialist or cover teachers. It's also fully editable, making it easy to tailor to your students’ specific needs—saving you valuable planning time. 
 
This is the 3rd in a series of lessons and covers the content from the AQA KS3 3.1.3 Contact forces topic and the Activate 2 (OUP) 1b: Forces, 1.3.3 Turning forces lesson.
