Support your lower prior attainment students and develop their confidence and skills in answering Efficiency calculations with this “Shed Loads of Practice” (SLOP) style worksheet.
This resource offers students the opportunity to practice and refine their calculation skills through 3 worked examples and 9 worded questions, with a strong emphasis on showing full working. Features both the useful/total energy and power equations which appear in P1 Energy on AQA Combined Science (6.1.2.2 Efficiency) and AQA Separate Physics (4.1.2.2) GCSE specifications.
Worksheet is designed to support students in answering Level 1 calculation questions typically found in the majority of Foundation AQA Physics Papers, while building some fundamental skills that will allow students to move onto tackling level 2 demand calculations found at the end of a foundation paper/the start of a higher papers.
Included:
- Ready-to-print worksheet (.doc and .pdf) featuring 3 worked examples and 9 independent calculation questions, and colour-coded variables
- Ready-to-print solution document (.doc and .pdf)
- Worked examples and solutions PowerPoint (.ppt)
