AQA A Level PE Biomechanics – Levers: 2-Lesson Complete Teaching Bundle

A complete 2-lesson AQA A Level PE Biomechanics bundle covering lever systems, mechanical advantage and sporting performance.

This sequence is designed to take students from identifying the fulcrum, resistance and effort in first-, second- and third-class levers through to calculating mechanical advantage and explaining how different lever arrangements affect force, speed and range of movement in sport.

The lessons follow a clear progression from knowledge and classification into calculation, application and extended exam-style analysis.

Lesson 1 — Lever Systems in Sport

• Fulcrum, resistance and effort
• First-, second- and third-class levers
• Sporting examples including elbow flexion, elbow extension and plantar flexion
• Linear lever diagrams
• 1–2–3 = F–R–E memory strategy
• I Do, We Do, You Do activities
• Exam-style application

Lesson 2 — Mechanical Advantage & Sporting Performance

• Effort arm and resistance arm
• Mechanical advantage equation
• Calculating and interpreting MA
• Mechanical advantage for force
• Mechanical disadvantage for force
• Speed and range of movement
• Sporting applications including sprinting, football, basketball and tennis
• Sprint-start application
• 8-mark extended-response practice

This bundle includes:

• 2 complete teacher PowerPoint lessons
• 2 student workbooks
• 2 teacher answer workbooks
• 2 short 5-minute revision podcasts
• Retrieval and checking activities
• Sporting application throughout
• AO1, AO2 and AO3 exam support
• Calculation practice
• Exam-style questions and extended writing
• Exit-ticket / retrieval activities

The student workbooks provide structured spaces for calculation, classification, diagram drawing, application and extended responses. The separate teacher-answer versions mirror the student tasks with completed answers to support modelling, feedback and self-assessment.

The included 5-minute revision podcasts provide an additional way for students to recap key concepts independently at school, at home or on the go.

Designed specifically for AQA A Level Physical Education (7582) – Biomechanical Principles and suitable for Year 12 or Year 13 teaching, revision, independent study or cover.
