They have been designed to match the needs of the AQA Physics GCSE syllabus for the first half of module P2, but could be used with any GCSE Physics syllabus or appropriate unit from GCSE Double Science. They are suitable for use in class or as homework. They cover the areas of forces, motion and energy.
Each worksheet contains the relevant equation/s to complete the work, so that students should find the tasks accessible. The focus for calculation questions is on the process of getting to the answer rather than the answer itself. (Many answer guides or mark schemes simply quote the correct answer without the details to help a struggling student see how it was achieved).
My aim is to produce five more units of similar materials to complete the Physics GCSE. I would appreciate any feedback, errors or omissions to help me with this work going forward.
Lessons from the 9I unit in the new Exploring Science scheme of work all about forces and motion.
Including lessons for:
9Ia Forces and Movement
9Ib Energy for Movement
9Ic Speed
9Id Turning Forces
9Ie More Machines
*Some of the lessons have references to worksheets from the ActiveLearn but could be replaced with other worksheets or omitted from the lesson completely.

Overview
A digital P10 Force and Motion work booklet suitable for AQA GCSE Trilogy Science and Physics. Can be used for learning in both the classroom and at home.
This work booklet includes the following lessons:
L1 Newtons First Law
L2 Newtons Second Law
L3 Required Practical 7 Acceleration
L4 Newtons Third Law
L5 Stopping and Braking
L6 Reaction Time
L7 Braking Distance 1
L8 Braking Distance 2
L9 Momentum
L10 Conservation of Momentum
L11 Changes in Momentum
At the start of the booklet there is a clear topic overview, with all outcomes for lessons and links to previous topics are clearly identified. Content that is covered in the higher tier and separate science only is clearly signposted throughout the booklet and so these booklets can be used if studying for either foundation tier or higher tier.
What is in Each Lesson:
Each lesson has clear outcomes that are closely linked to the specification and introduces students to the key knowledge that they are required to know in a clear condensed way. This is followed by some core tasks that are designed as an opportunity for students to develop and consolidate new ideas. Finally, there are lots of questions for exam practice that have been clearly identified as levels 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9. I am an experienced exam marker and have selected a combination of questions that are commonly used on exam papers as well as some exam questions that are a bit more unusual that have caused students difficulty in the past. Through using these exam questions students will be prepared and familiar with all of the different ways that the topic content could be assessed.

I put together a selection of forces questions for my higher and lower set pupils to consolidate the forces equations they need to know for the new AQA GCSE exams.
The foundation questions have answers which I displayed on the board. I didn’t do answers for the higher sheet, but almost all of the questions are the same as the foundation apart from the m=ones that include momentum.
KS3 Physics Forces and Motion Balanced Forces
This KS3 Physics Balanced Forces Question Set covers the national curriculum objectives to: use force arrows to show the size and direction of forces, and to know that when the forces acting on an object are balanced then the object will be stationary or moving at a steady speed.
Registering for an LbQ account will give you access to the questions included in this resource and many 1,000s more. These 5 questions are a small selection from a much bigger Question Set of the same topic; they can be used as a teaching starter, plenary or activity for pupils. It is designed to provide teachers a taste of what our content is all about.
LbQ’s KS3 Science Question Sets are designed by our subject matter experts, so that students can progress through the work with minimal input from the teacher. The questions gradually increase in complexity, provide corrective feedback with hints and images to scaffold the learning. Students can therefore progress independently, which frees up the teacher’s time to help those students who need it most.
A revision lesson aimed at the new Edexcel 1-9 GCSE.
The lesson starts with a quick test (10 minutes) to assess pupils current understanding, and then a range of tasks to complete. Pupils will start on the task appropriate to their level of understanding.
A Comprehensive set of resources to teach and test Forces and Motion (Chapter 3) for CIE IGCSE exams.
Package includes;
A complete 64-page presentation resource-pack explaining in detail the whole chapter. The presentation comprise of teaser questions, worked examples, recommended experiments, simulation, video and detailed explanations with flow of lesson in note section of presentation.
A complementary handout which is provided to the students during the lesson. This saves time for students as they don’t have to take intense notes thus enabling them to focus on the lecture. The handout carries questions that are discussed in the class and help teachers detect any knowledge gap in their comprehension of concepts. But more importantly, the handout is a comprehensive summary of the chapter which the student can refer back to when needed.
A 29- page worksheet which includes handpicked 32 multiple choice questions from past papers 2 and 12 structured questions from past papers 4. The questions are carefully selected to keep them relevant to the topic (Forces and motion and intersections of previous topics) and avoid chapters that the students have not studied yet.
These sources are compatible with David Sang and friends book
KS3 Physics Forces and Motion Unbalanced Forces
This KS3 Physics Unbalanced Forces Question Set covers the national curriculum objectives to: use force arrows to calculate the size of a resultant force and use the size and direction of this force to describe motion.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Vector Diagrams and Resolving Forces for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers the second part of AQA GCSE Physics 4.5.1.4 / Combined Science 6.5.1.4 and is for higher tier students only.
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:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• 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.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

Learning objectives:
Give examples of the forces involved in stretching, bending or compressing an object and explain why, to change the shape of a stationary object, more than one force has to be applied
Describe the difference between elastic deformation and inelastic deformation caused by stretching forces.
Describe how the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded using the formula force = spring constant × extension
Calculate work done in stretching (or compressing) using the formula: elastic potential energy = 0.5 × spring constant × extension2
Describe how the work done on the spring and the elastic potential energy stored are equal.
Prepare for the required practical on forces and elasticity.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
