GCSE Physics Energy: AQA-style workbook, practice papers and lessons

A complete, illustrated pack for the GCSE Physics energy topic: a 100-page workbook with full worked answers, 9 editable PowerPoint lessons, two practice papers and both required practicals. It covers recall, energy-transfer descriptions, calculations with rearranging, unit conversions and standard form, Sankey diagrams, graph and data questions, practical questions and six-mark extended responses.

WHAT’S INSIDE (updated October 2026)

• Workbook 100 pages, answer edition 92 pages (editable Word)
• Practice papers 10 pages, mark schemes 9 pages (editable Word)
• Knowledge organiser and flashcards 13 pages
• 9 lesson decks (editable PowerPoint), 257 slides in total. Every lesson ends with exam questions and worked answers that build on click
• Teacher guide (Word)
• Total: 234 PDF pages and 257 slides

WHAT YOU GET

• 253 questions graded Foundation, Developing and Exam standard (100, 89, 64), with mark tags, allowed alternatives and error carried forward
• 34 step-by-step worked examples. Each of the 33 calculation examples ends with a check by a second method: kinetic, gravitational potential and elastic potential energy, specific heat capacity, power, efficiency, a falling object and a roller coaster with friction
• 20 diagrams and graphs drawn for this pack: energy transfer diagrams and bar charts, a roller coaster with energy bars at each point, a spring with its force-extension graph, the specific heat capacity apparatus and graph, cooling curves, Sankey diagrams drawn to scale, and charts comparing energy resources
• Both required practicals (specific heat capacity; thermal insulation, labelled Physics only): method, variables, results, graph and evaluation
• Six six-mark questions with three-level mark schemes, a model answer built step by step, and six longer multi-step questions
• Mistake clinic with twelve common misconceptions (including “energy is used up” and “heat rises”) and ten spot-the-error tasks, three retrieval quizzes, a 23-point checklist and a glossary of 28 key terms
• Two 40-mark practice papers with mark schemes (PDF and editable Word), a knowledge organiser with 40 flashcards and a teacher guide

WHO IT IS FOR
Physics and Combined Science teachers planning the energy unit, students revising independently and tutors. Physics-only content and Higher items are labelled.

ABOUT THE SPECIFICATION
Written with the AQA GCSE energy content in mind. Questions use an AQA-style format, but mark guidance is Study Hack’s own wording, not an exam board mark scheme. The pack does not state which equations are on an equation sheet: please check your own specification. All data sets, including the energy resource data, are invented for practice, and the heat-loss percentages for a house are illustrative.

All questions, diagrams and model answers are original Study Hack material. Independent resource, not endorsed by any exam board.
