Topics covered (AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1: P1–P3):

• P1 – Energy

  • Energy stores and systems
  • Energy transfers and conservation of energy
  • Specific heat capacity
  • Work done, power and efficiency
  • Reducing unwanted energy transfers
  • Required practicals and exam-style applications

• P2 – Electricity

  • Charge, current and potential difference
  • Resistance and factors affecting resistance
  • Series and parallel circuits
  • IV characteristics and required practicals
  • Electrical power and energy transfers
  • The National Grid and domestic electricity (plugs, fuses, safety)

• P3 – Particle Model of Matter

  • Density and methods of measurement
  • Changes of state and internal energy
  • Heating and cooling curves
  • Specific latent heat and specific heat capacity links
  • Gas pressure and the effect of temperature and volume
  • Real-life applications and exam-style questions

Each lesson includes:

• Fully editable PowerPoints with clear explanations, diagrams and worked examples.
• Printable worksheets and activity sheets (Foundation → Higher), ready for classwork, homework or revision.
• Retrieval practice starters and low-stakes quizzes to regularly revisit prior content.
• AfL checkpoints and hinge questions to quickly check understanding and address misconceptions.
• Exam-style questions with mark schemes and model answers to build confidence in 4–6 mark questions and quantitative problems.
• Differentiated tasks and stretch challenges for higher-attaining students.
• Plenary/exit ticket ideas so every lesson ends with a quick check of learning.

Assessment and revision:

• End-of-topic tests or review tasks for P1, P2 and P3 (where included), with answers.
• Summary/revision sheets that are ideal for independent study, intervention or pre-exam review.
• Mixed recall questions that combine content across P1–P3 to prepare students for full Paper 1 exams.

Optional Free AI Long-Answer Marking:

• Perfect for homework, exam-practice tasks or cover lessons where you still want quality feedback.
• All responses are stored so you can quickly review, moderate or use them for live feedback in class.

Why this bundle saves you time:

• Everything is fully editable – adapt slides, worksheets or tests in minutes for your own classes.
• Consistent structure across P1–P3 keeps lessons familiar and reduces cognitive load for students.
• Ideal for new teachers, non-specialists or experienced staff wanting to reduce planning and focus on high-impact teaching.

Who is it for?

• Teachers delivering AQA GCSE Physics (Triple) Paper 1.
• Teachers of AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) wanting strong Physics resources and extension material.
• Departments looking for a coherent set of lessons and assessments across multiple classes or year groups.
