M1 Unit 1: Kinematics (Edexcel IAL)

A complete, original teaching unit for Unit 1 of the Pearson Edexcel International A Level Mechanics 1 (WME01) specification. Three lessons cover modelling and motion in a straight line with constant acceleration (the suvat formulae); vertical motion under gravity; and speed–time and velocity–time graphs. Each lesson opens with a starter that checks prior knowledge, then has an editable PowerPoint with worked examples set out as the mark scheme expects, diagrams, practice with answer slides, exam technique, speaker notes and an exit ticket, plus a worksheet with full answers. Also includes a 40-mark unit assessment with a detailed mark scheme and a teacher guide that maps every lesson to real WME01 past-paper questions from January 2021 to June 2025 (referenced, not reproduced). All PDFs in A4.

Who it’s for: teachers and tutors of students taking Mechanics 1 (WME01) for the Pearson Edexcel International A Level. How to use it: teach the lessons in order; set the matching worksheet after each lesson and the 40-mark unit assessment at the end. Answers use g = 9.8 m s⁻², as in the exam. Mathematical expressions on the slides are high-resolution typeset images (the LaTeX source is in each image’s alt text), while all headings, text boxes, simple expressions in sentences and speaker notes are editable text. Every printable comes in A4. All content is original; Pearson and Edexcel are trademarks of Pearson Education, which has not endorsed this resource.
