Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Specific Heat Capacity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. Rewritten and improved 16.05.22. Specific Heat Capacity is included in the exam specification in two separate places: Energy Topic (Physics 4.1.1.3 / Combined Science 6.1.1.3) where it is followed by a required practical. Particle Model of Matter Topic (Physics 4.3.2.2 / Combined Science 6.3.2.2) The exam spec points are virtually the same for each. I have written this lesson so that it can be taught in either place, however the required practical means it is likely to be taught in the energy topic. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity with answers • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. . Learning objectives: Describe the difference between thermal energy and temperature. Define specific heat capacity. Describe the factors that affect the amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes. Explain how specific heat capacity can affect temperature changes and energy stored or released for different substances. Use the equation below to determine the temperature change, mass or specific heat capacity of an object, or the change in thermal energy. Change in thermal energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Worksheet consisting of 15 questions where students need to calculate the energy using specific heat capacity formula. Answers are included, so can be used as revision or as a final assessment task

It provides a step-by-step method, theoretical background, and practical tips, making it an essential resource for science classes. Key learning objectives include: Understanding the concept of specific heat capacity and its definition. Learning to calculate specific heat capacity using the equations: Q=mcΔT and E=IVt Conducting a practical investigation to determine the specific heat capacity of an object, such as an aluminum block. The resource begins with a starter activity to activate prior knowledge, prompting students to define key terms, write equations, and apply their understanding to real-world examples like boiling water. It guides students through setting up the experiment, collecting data, and calculating specific heat capacity. Detailed instructions ensure students can perform the practical accurately, including using insulation to minimize energy loss and interpreting results. Students are encouraged to reflect on their results, evaluate sources of error, and explore extensions, such as testing different materials or types of insulation. The importance of precision, repeatability, and minimizing energy loss is emphasized throughout. This editable ‘.pptx’ file aligns with high school physics curricula and is ideal for practical sessions or revision. It includes refined instructions and clear visuals, ensuring students gain a thorough understanding of specific heat capacity and its experimental determination.

Comparing Capacity and Volume - Year 1 In this teaching resource pupils begin to compare and describe capacity and volume (full, half full, empty, nearly full and nearly empty) as per the year 1 maths programme of study (Measurement). This colourful and animated PowerPoint presentation includes interactive activities, link to a short video introducing the subject of comparing capacity and 4 accompanying worksheets. As with all our PowerPoint teaching resources, ‘Comparing Capacity and Volume - Year 1’ is completely editable so that teachers can adapt, alter and revise it as much or as little as required.

Three activities for teaching capacity.

An introductory presentation and accompanying differentiated worksheets used with a year 1 class based on capacity. Using the language of ‘full’, ‘half full’, ‘empty’, ‘nearly/almost full’ and ‘nearly/almost empty’.

2 sets of questions Easy and difficult about SHC Easy questions just apply the equation More difficult questions require students to re-arrange the equation and convert units. Comes with answers.

Lesson that would include the standard practical for shc. Adapted from another fab TES user. Equation, explanation. Outcomes.

This is a contained lesson on specific heat capacity for KS4 physics lessons. It is designed to be accessible for all ability groups, though from experience top sets will work through this reasonably quickly. It works very nicely in conjunction with a suitable practical. I have designed it so that the complexity is built from the ground up to ensure pupil understanding. Please give feedback as this is my first upload to TES.
