Updated for 2025 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (8463 / 8464).
This free, fully editable lesson introduces P10.1 – Forces and Acceleration from the AQA specification.
Students learn the relationship between unbalanced force, mass, and acceleration, applying Newton’s Second Law (F = m × a) to real-world motion.
It’s the perfect starting point for the Forces and Motion section of Paper 2, offering clear explanations, practical examples, and scaffolded practice questions.
Includes free AI long-answer feedback – students can submit extended-response questions online and receive instant, AQA-aligned WWW/EBI feedback to improve reasoning, structure, and precision.
What’s Included
Editable PowerPoint with diagrams and step-by-step examples
