GCSE Physics AQA FT Topic 1: Elastic Potential Energy Worksheet

GCSE Physics Elastic Potential Energy – Foundation Tier Worksheet, Worked Examples & Answers

Build students’ confidence with elastic potential energy calculations using this structured Foundation Tier resource pack. Questions progress from substituting given values to identifying quantities in written questions, then calculating spring constant and extension using supplied rearranged equations.

What’s included:

• Nine practice questions organised into three sections with increasing challenge.
• Three step-by-step worked examples, modelling how to identify quantities, convert units and substitute values.
• Fill-in-the-blank scaffolds to support students as they develop confidence working independently.
• Fully worked solutions for every question, plus a quick-answer list for efficient marking and self-assessment.
• PDF and editable Word versions of all resources, ready to print or adapt for your classes.

Accessible wording and equations written in words help students focus on the calculation process. Students practise squaring the extension, converting centimetres to metres, and calculating changes in length, with contexts including springs, foam mats and car suspension.

Ideal for GCSE Physics and Combined Science Foundation Tier lessons, homework, revision or targeted intervention.
