AQA GCSE Physics P5 Forces: 16 lessons ready to teach, with a topic test

You get every lesson for AQA GCSE Physics P5 Forces, planned and ready to teach. There are 14 teaching lessons and the 2 required practicals as full lessons. Each one is editable PowerPoint and matched to the AQA 8463 specification.

What your classes work through

• Forces, scalars and vectors: Pupils explain why a rock keeps its mass but weighs less on the Moon.
• Resultant forces: Pupils calculate the resultant force on a model boat and state its direction.
• Pressure in fluids: Pupils use a graph to find how fast air pressure falls with height.
• Pressure in a liquid, floating and sinking: Pupils calculate the sea water pressure on a submarine 60 m down.
• Distance and displacement: Pupils explain why a drone’s round trip has distance but zero displacement.
• Speed and velocity: Pupils calculate a walking time and then the velocity of a bus.
• Distance-time graphs: Pupils describe a cyclist’s distance-time graph and calculate the first speed.
• Acceleration and velocity-time graphs: Pupils use forces to explain how a skydiver reaches a constant velocity.
• Newton’s laws and braking: Pupils match Newton’s laws and stopping distance terms to their meanings.
• Newton’s Third Law: Pupils apply Newton’s Third Law to a student throwing a ball from a skateboard.
• Momentum and collisions: Pupils calculate the average force a bat exerts on a rebounding cricket ball.
• Work done and energy transfer: Pupils calculate the work done pushing a floor polisher and give the unit.
• Forces and elasticity: Pupils complete reasoning about a spring’s force against extension graph.
• Moments, levers and gears: Pupils calculate the moment of a push on a see-saw and give the unit.
• RP6 Force and Extension: Pupils read a spring’s force and extension graph to find the spring constant.
• RP7 Acceleration and Force: Pupils calculate the inertial mass of a trolley from its force and acceleration.
  Who it is for

Use it to teach AQA GCSE Physics P5 Forces lessons on resultant forces, pressure, motion graphs, Newton’s laws, momentum, elasticity and moments in Year 10 and Year 11. It also covers the force and extension and acceleration required practicals, so it works well for GCSE Physics revision or intervention.

Topic test

The P5 Forces topic test covers the whole unit with AQA-style questions and comes with its mark scheme, both in Word and PDF.
