Updated for 2025 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (8463 / 8464).
A complete, fully editable lesson covering P10.8 – Forces and Elasticity from the AQA specification.
Students learn how forces cause extension in springs and materials, apply Hooke’s Law (F = k × e), and investigate the relationship between force, extension and energy stored in elastic systems.
This lesson connects practical investigation with real-world applications such as trampolines, engineering cables and sports equipment 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 structure, reasoning and scientific accuracy.
