Electrical Power 2, P=I²R - Foundation Calculations Worksheet with Answers

Foundation tier/Level 1 worksheet to support students with lower prior attainment adapted through simplified calculations and colour-coded variables to develop substitution and rearrangement. For the standard worksheet for more secure students click here.

Students will build the confidence and skills required to answer calculation questions with this extensive independent practice worksheet focused on the Electricity equation: P=I²R (Power = Current Squared x Resistance). This equation appears in AQA’s Electricity Topics for both AQA Combined Science and AQA Physics Paper 1 (6.2.4.1 Power, 4.2.4.1 Power).

This is a resource designed to allow extensive independent practice in answering 9 worded calculation questions with building demand. There is a strong emphasis on showing full working and a power point slidedeck is provided with 3 worked examples and full solutions to every question to support you and your students with clear feedback.

The worksheet is usable/adaptable for other exam boards, or KS3 students and will help build your students into tackling level 2 demand calculations found at the end of a foundation paper/the start of a higher paper.

Included:

• Ready-to-print worksheet featuring 3 worked examples and 9 calculation questions (.doc and .pdf)
• Ready-to-print solution document (.doc and .pdf)
• Worked examples and solutions PowerPoint (.ppt)
  
  Helps you to:
• Adapt lessons and schemes of work to support the needs of Foundation students with simplified scaffolded questions
• Model the methods for calculations and problem-solving
• Embed strong problem solving routines and skills through FIFA (Formula, Insert, Fine-tune, Answer)
• Ensure progress with questions gradually increase in complexity
• Feedback without fuss with solutions and answers in a ready-to-print word document and a projectable PowerPoint slide deck
• Save time giving you a resource easily usable for classroom learning, homework, cover work, or revision. Even adaptable for Edexcel and OCR.
