Specific Heat Capacity Worksheet | KS3 / KS4 Physics Revision and Practice

This printable physics worksheet helps students develop a solid understanding of specific heat capacity through a series of structured questions suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4. Designed to take approximately 35 to 45 minutes, the sheet is ideal for use in lessons, as homework, or for independent revision. It supports calculator use and includes a full answer sheet to allow for self-assessment or guided review.

The resource covers both conceptual understanding and mathematical application. Questions explore the definition of specific heat capacity, use of the energy formula Q=mcΔT, and real-world examples involving thermal energy. Students are asked to interpret temperature data, solve calculations with correct units and significant figures, and explain energy transfer using particle theory. A practical scenario based on thermometer readings is included, along with stretch questions for more advanced learners.

This worksheet is suitable for a range of learning contexts, including classroom teaching, revision sessions, cover lessons, and targeted intervention. It promotes confidence in handling physics equations and understanding thermal processes, aligning well with GCSE physics specifications.

Key topics include specific heat capacity, thermal energy, energy transfer, particle theory, and heat calculations. The questions are designed to reinforce both knowledge and exam-style skills in thermal physics.

KS3/4 Physics Worksheet Bundle

This bundle provides printable PDF worksheets for most major topics encountered by students in KS3/early KS4 Physics, covering key topics such as: * Energy * Momentum * Speed, Distance and Time * Units of Measure * Specific Heat Capacity * Magnets and Electromagnets * Basic Series Circuits and Power * The Universe * Density and Volume * Hooke's Law (and Elasticity) * Turning Moments * Optics (Reflection, Refraction, Lenses) * Pressure * Light and Sound Waves * + Free definitions resource The worksheets are all designed to take between 40-55 minutes (though individual sheets vary) and all include a mixture of short and long calculation, short and long answer and exam style problems for in class work, revision, homework or assessment. Answers are provided as an additional sheet at the end of each PDF - shorter, easier questions have bottom line solutions provided however longer, more involved questions have solutions and guidance. The sheets start simple however progress in difficulty throughout, testing all abilities. The sheets are suitable for early KS4 and 'challenge' questions are provided to test those students who need something a bit more involved to keep them busy. Some sheets are listed as KS3 instead of KS3/4 - these sheets may cover a topic at a KS3 level only, and may not be relevant for the complexity added for GCSE, though this is only the case for 2 of the worksheets in the bundle. All of the worksheets provided in this bundle can be bought **individually** in my shop however this bundle gives you access to all of them nearly 30% off!
