KS4 Science Skills Revision - Substituting into equations
Boost your KS4 students’ confidence with this clear, high‑impact Physics skills lesson on Substituting into Equations.
Perfect for AQA GCSE Physics or Combined Science, this ready‑to-teach resource helps learners master the maths skills needed to tackle equation questions—one of the most commonly tested areas in the exam.
This engaging and fully scaffolded lesson guides students step‑by‑step through substituting values into core AQA Topic 1: Energy equations, including:
Kinetic Energy – Ek = ½mv²
Elastic Potential Energy – Ee = ½ke²
Gravitational Potential Energy – Ep = mgh
Power – P = E/t
Students work through worked examples, timed practice questions, self‑assessment slides, and unit conversion tasks (grams → kilograms, cm → m, minutes → seconds). The structure ensures they build confidence, accuracy and fluency—ideal for revision, intervention, or exam preparation.
