This covers specific heat capacity for P1 AQA. Lots of practice for using the SHC equation

This lesson covers heat transfer and insulating through investigating the construction of the water polo arena.

Worksheet on work/GPE/KE calculations with answers included. This is adapted from another resource I found here on TES so thank you to whoever made the original!

Learning outcome checklists created from new specifications. I will add more as I make them.

A sheet covering the main topics of the new radioactivity topic for AQA.

This makes a nice little 8 page book which summarises energy equations for GCSE. Students should use the same colour for the matching parts of each equation (see image). Complete the sheet first before folding. Students should fold and cut along the dotted line. Follow the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21qi9ZcQVto Also included is a summary slide of equations. It is from AQA but I think other boards are similar.

As much revision as I could fit on a single page! Includes: key words, states of matter, change of state graph, melting and boiling points.

This is suitable for end-of-year revision for weaker students. Instructions: BEFORE LESSON 1. Print out the posters on A3 2. Print out the worksheets 1 per pupil 3. Print out the cards, cut out and put them on desks along with the corresponding poster DURING LESSON 1. Give out worksheets, students move to different posters/cards 2. They arrange the cards on the poster. When it has been checked, they copy this onto their own worksheets.

This worksheet supports students in carrying out two simple experiments: a) how does the type of surface affect the time taken for a ball to roll down the ramp (eg wood or bubble wrap)? b) how does the height of the ramp affect the time taken for the ball to roll down? There is also support for drawing a bar and line graph of results.

In this activity, students use Hooke's Law to make their own forcemeter from a spring. They then plot their results on the line graph (there are two axes available - one provided the scale for weaker students) You will need to prepare 3 mystery objects which students will weigh using their forcemeter. They can use their graph to work out the approximate weights of the objects.

A self-directed worksheet for students to review the year 7 forces topic

This activity is for KS3 students who have already been introduced to the concept of pressure and the formula P=F/A. It was inspired by the Dragon’s Den episode where the company Clean Heels pitched their idea, which won an investment. Students calculate pressure from two different shoes, then calculate the difference this product makes. There is a final creative task (if time allows or HW) to create an advert for the company.

A powerpoint and accompanying worksheet covering density calculations, melting and boiling points, changing state and graph skills

A presentation and worksheet covering efficiency calculations and drawing sankey diagrams

In this activity students consider the record-breaking leap by Felix Baumgartner and attempt to calculate the energy transfers. There are video links and answers to the calculations included.

A presentation and worksheet covering conservation of energy and energy transfers

A presentation and worksheet covering work done and power calculations, and a practical activity to see how much exercise you need to do to burn off a Kit Kat.

A presentation and worksheet covering the energy transfers in roller coasters for GCSE.

In this investigation, students measure the GPE and KE stores of bouncing balls to quantify energy transfers. Equipment needed (per group) - golf ball, tennis ball, ping pong ball, metre ruler, stopclock. There are a few good video links on the last slide.

This activity covers the equations E = Pt and E = QV. There are lots of calculations and practice questions all with answers and working out.
