IAL Physics - Unit 01 - Topic 1 Mechanics - 1A motion

Teach mechanics with this collection of 13 Edexcel Pearson International A Level (IAL) Physics PowerPoint presentations, organised across Lessons 1–8. Covering momentum, vectors, projectiles, motion graphs, forces, moments, Newton’s laws and kinematics equations, this resource follows a consistent lesson structure to support clear explanations, student participation and exam-focused learning.

Lessons included

• Lesson 1: Momentum; Standard Units in Physics
• Lesson 2: Estimation; Projectiles
• Lesson 3: Resolving Vectors; Velocity and Acceleration
• Lesson 4: Motion Graphs; Motion Graphs Part 2
• Lesson 5: Adding Forces
• Lesson 6: Moments
• Lesson 7: Newton’s Laws of Motion
• Lesson 8: Kinematics Equations 1 and 2

What makes this resource useful?

The presentations follow a consistent teaching structure to help teachers deliver lessons in a logical sequence. The collection supports retrieval practice, clear explanations of physics concepts, worked examples, student discussion, problem-solving and opportunities to review learning.

Learning objectives

• Use physics quantities, standard units and appropriate terminology.
• Calculate and interpret momentum, velocity, acceleration and other quantities relevant to mechanics.
• Resolve vectors and analyse projectile motion.
• Interpret motion graphs and apply the equations of uniformly accelerated motion.
• Analyse forces, turning effects and situations involving Newton’s laws.
• Apply mathematical reasoning to mechanics problems.

Suitable for

Edexcel Pearson IAL Physics teachers, Year 12 students, classroom teaching, revision lessons and independent study.

Resource format: PowerPoint presentations, suitable for classroom delivery and adaptation to suit your students’ needs.
