Updated for 2026 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (8463 / 8464)

This FREE, fully editable lesson introduces P10.1 – Forces and Acceleration from the AQA specification.

Students learn the relationship between unbalanced force, mass and acceleration, applying Newton’s Second Law (F = m × a) to real-world motion scenarios. Clear modelling, worked examples and scaffolded calculations make this the ideal starting point for the Forces and Motion section of Paper 2.

Designed to build both mathematical confidence and conceptual understanding.

Includes FREE AI long-answer feedback – students can submit extended-response answers online and receive instant, AQA-aligned WWW/EBI feedback to improve:

• Scientific reasoning
• Structure of explanations
• Precision of physics terminology

What’s Included

• Fully editable PowerPoint with clear diagrams and step-by-step worked examples
• Printable and editable worksheet with model answers (Foundation → Higher)
• Retrieval starter and plenary quiz
• AfL checkpoints throughout
• Differentiated challenge tasks
• Homework / revision task
• Comprehensive teacher answer key

Topics Covered

• The relationship between force, mass and acceleration (F = m × a)
• Resultant force and unbalanced forces
• Investigating how force and mass affect motion
• Interpreting force and acceleration graphs
• Practical examples in vehicles and sport
• Predicting motion changes from force data

Why Teachers Use This FREE Lesson
