GCSE Science - Electricity Multi-Step Calculations Lesson

This lesson will help you guide your students to mastery of the skills required to answer GCSE 6-marker calculation questions. Based on the main calculation practice worksheet available here.

The lesson begins with identifying the quantities that appear in the physics topic and their relevant units, recapping the equations that link them building into a short practice identifying the correct equation to use in different situations. Students are then introduced to how calculations are made more difficult as 4, 5 and 6 mark questions - with an example six-marker.

The bulk of the lesson is Independent practice of multi-step calculations, where through 8 worded calculation questions, including 2 worked examples

Slides for a plenary is also included - Writing the steps that need to be followed to successfully answer a multi-step calculation and gain 6 marks.

This worksheet is an excellent tool for preparing students to tackle calculation questions typically found on AQA Physics Paper 1, and it’s equally valuable for other exam boards.

Included:

1. Full powerpoint slide deck (.ppt) with animated answers using our clean Resistance Physics layout.
2. Ready-to-print (.pdf) and editable (.doc) versions (.doc) of calculation worksheets and their solutions
3. Ready-to-print table of quantities and units (.doc)
