Updated for 2025 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (8463 / 8464).
A complete, editable lesson and required practical for P2.4 – Specific Heat Capacity.
Students investigate how the temperature of a material changes as energy is transferred, use the
Q=mcΔT equation, and analyse data to calculate specific heat capacity accurately.
Includes full guidance for running or demonstrating the practical, worked examples, and exam-style questions.
Includes free AI Long-Answer Feedback – students can submit their required-practical evaluation or six-mark responses online and receive instant, AQA-aligned WWW/EBI feedback to improve structure, precision, and reasoning.
What’s Included
Editable PowerPoint covering theory, apparatus, and method
Printable student worksheet with blank data tables and model answers
Step-by-step calculation examples for Foundation → Higher tiers

AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1 P1–P3 Energy Bundle – Fully Editable Lessons, Worksheets & Assessments
AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1 P1–P3 Energy Bundle – Fully Editable Lessons, Worksheets & Assessments Reduce planning time and boost student confidence with this complete AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1 mini bundle covering P1–P3. Every lesson is fully resourced, editable and ready to teach, with built-in retrieval practice, exam-style questions and clear scaffolding. Perfect for teachers who want high-quality, consistent lessons on the early Paper 1 topics – ideal for new schemes of work, revision, or intervention classes. Topics covered (AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1: P1–P3): * **P1 – Energy** * Energy stores and systems * Energy transfers and conservation of energy * Specific heat capacity * Work done, power and efficiency * Reducing unwanted energy transfers * Required practicals and exam-style applications * **P2 – Electricity** * Charge, current and potential difference * Resistance and factors affecting resistance * Series and parallel circuits * IV characteristics and required practicals * Electrical power and energy transfers * The National Grid and domestic electricity (plugs, fuses, safety) * **P3 – Particle Model of Matter** * Density and methods of measurement * Changes of state and internal energy * Heating and cooling curves * Specific latent heat and specific heat capacity links * Gas pressure and the effect of temperature and volume * Real-life applications and exam-style questions Each lesson includes: * **Fully editable PowerPoints** with clear explanations, diagrams and worked examples. * **Printable worksheets and activity sheets** (Foundation → Higher), ready for classwork, homework or revision. * **Retrieval practice starters** and low-stakes quizzes to regularly revisit prior content. * **AfL checkpoints and hinge questions** to quickly check understanding and address misconceptions. * **Exam-style questions with mark schemes and model answers** to build confidence in 4–6 mark questions and quantitative problems. * **Differentiated tasks and stretch challenges** for higher-attaining students. * **Plenary/exit ticket ideas** so every lesson ends with a quick check of learning. Assessment and revision: * End-of-topic tests or review tasks for P1, P2 and P3 (where included), with answers. * Summary/revision sheets that are ideal for independent study, intervention or pre-exam review. * Mixed recall questions that combine content across P1–P3 to prepare students for full Paper 1 exams. Optional Free AI Long-Answer Marking: * This bundle links to **Free AI Long-Answer Marking** via PlanetReynolds (optional to use). * Students can submit extended-response answers online and receive instant WWW/EBI feedback using AQA-style language. * Perfect for homework, exam-practice tasks or cover lessons where you still want quality feedback. * All responses are stored so you can quickly review, moderate or use them for live feedback in class. Why this bundle saves you time: * Everything is **fully editable** – adapt slides, worksheets or tests in minutes for your own classes. * Consistent structure across P1–P3 keeps lessons familiar and reduces cognitive load for students. * Ideal for new teachers, non-specialists or experienced staff wanting to reduce planning and focus on high-impact teaching. Who is it for? * Teachers delivering **AQA GCSE Physics (Triple)** Paper 1. * Teachers of **AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy)** wanting strong Physics resources and extension material. * Departments looking for a coherent set of lessons and assessments across multiple classes or year groups. If you find this P1–P3 bundle helpful, please consider leaving a review – it helps other teachers find quality resources and supports the creation of more Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science materials.
