Bundle: Forces Topic (GCSE Physics)

Forces Topic Bundle: 20 complete, no-prep PowerPoint lessons covering the whole AQA GCSE Physics Forces topic (4.5), with exam questions, worked examples, tasks and answers – no worksheets needed.

Covers scalars and vectors, contact and non-contact forces, weight, resultant forces and free body diagrams, resolving forces, work done, elasticity and Hooke’s law, moments, levers and gears, pressure in fluids, upthrust and atmospheric pressure, speed, velocity and acceleration, distance–time and velocity–time graphs, terminal velocity, Newton’s three laws, stopping distances and momentum, including the equations W = mg, W = Fs, F = ke, M = Fd, p = F/A, p = hρg, s = vt, a = Δv/t, v² – u² = 2as, F = ma, p = mv and F = mΔv/Δt.

This bundle has every lesson needed for the AQA GCSE Physics Forces topic (except for Required Practicals), including the four Physics-only lessons. If you teach Combined Science, you may prefer my smaller (and cheaper!) Combined Science bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bundle-forces-topic-12655660

As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.

My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.

Teaching Order ( Bold indicates lessons that are GCSE Physics only):

1. Vectors, Scalars, Contact and Non-Contact Forces.
2. Gravity, Weight and Mass
3. Resultant Forces, Free Body Diagrams
4. Vector Diagrams, Resolving Forces
5. Work Done and Energy Transfer
6. Forces and Elasticity
   **7) Moments, Levers and Gears (Physics Only)
   **8) Pressure in Fluids & Atmospheric Pressure (Physics Only)
   9) Pressure in Liquids and Upthrust (Physics Only)
7. Distance, Displacement, Speed and Velocity
8. Distance-Time Graphs
9. Acceleration
10. Velocity-Time Graphs
11. Terminal Velocity
12. Newton’s First and Second Laws
13. Newton’s Third Law
14. Stopping Distance & Thinking Distance
15. Braking Distance & Energy
16. Momentum & Conservation of Momentum
    20) Changes in Momentum (Physics Only)

What’s Included in each lesson:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.where applicable
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.

The lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
