Updated for 2025 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (8463 / 8464).
A complete, fully editable lesson covering P10.4 – Momentum from the AQA specification.
Students learn how momentum is calculated, how it is conserved in collisions and explosions, and how changes in momentum relate to force and impact time.
This lesson links mechanics, energy transfer and safety applications, building quantitative and reasoning skills for Paper 2 – Forces and Motion.
Includes free AI long-answer feedback – students can submit extended-response questions online and receive instant, AQA-aligned WWW/EBI feedback to improve reasoning, structure and use of scientific language.
What’s Included
Editable PowerPoint with clear diagrams, animations and step-by-step examples
Printable and editable worksheets with model answers (Foundation → Higher)
Exam-style questions with mark scheme and sample solutions
Retrieval starter and plenary quiz
AfL checkpoints and differentiated challenge tasks
Homework / revision activity
