IAL Mechanics 1 Constant Acceleration lesson slides

7 complete lesson PowerPoints for Edexcel IAL Mechanics 1 Chapter 2 (Constant Acceleration), 129 slides with force diagrams and full answers.

A complete set of 7 lessons covering Chapter 2 of the Pearson Edexcel International A Level Mechanics 1 course (sections 1.1 to 2.6). Everything is written to be taught straight from the deck — no preparation needed beyond opening the file.

Lessons in this deck

Models, units and s-t graphs
Velocity and acceleration graphs
The constant acceleration formulae
Choosing a formula; quadratics in t
Vertical motion under gravity
Multi-stage journeys and sketches
Two particles: meeting

What’s in every lesson (60 minutes)

Do now — a four-question retrieval starter, with answers on the following slide
Learning objectives — tied to the numbered textbook sections
Worked examples with Your turn — a model solution beside a matching question for students, with mark schemes shown
An exam-style check before moving on
Fluency, reasoning and problem solving practice
An exam-style question modelled on real WME01 papers
Full answers throughout

Diagrams and conventions

Mechanics diagrams drawn throughout: kinematics graphs, force diagrams, pulleys, inclined planes, collisions and rods
g = 9.8 m s⁻², with answers given to 2 or 3 significant figures

How to use it

Teach straight from it, or pull single lessons as cover work or intervention. The deck follows the Pearson textbook section by section, so it drops into an existing scheme of work without resequencing. Seven lessons, and the one that also teaches Chapter 1: Lesson 1 covers modelling assumptions and units, so there is no separate Chapter 1 deck. Lesson 4 is devoted to choosing between the suvat formulae and handling quadratics in t.

What’s included

One PowerPoint (.pptx) containing all 7 lessons, 129 slides
Editable throughout — change the numbers, cut slides, reorder lessons
