AQA GCSE Physics Paper 2 Whole Unit Revision (3-4 Lessons) - Foundation

This sequence of lessons of 190 slides is a highly effective summary of the whole of physics paper 2 for foundation tier combined science students. This lesson/sequence is fantastic revision following AQA GCSE Physics Paper 2 specification. The students complete an A3 revision poster throughout the session which is effective at maintaining high engagement throughout the lesson as most content is already completed for them.

The lessons include revision on:

• Forces
• Scalar and Vector Quantities
• Resultant Forces
• Newton’s Laws
• Paper 2 Calculations
• Acceleration
• Terminal Velocity
• Frictional Forces
• Elastic Objects and Hooke’s Law
• Stopping and Thinking Distance
• Speed Distance Time Relationships
• Velocity-Time graphs
• Waves: Longitudinal and Transverse
• Waves Required Practical (ripple tank)
• Radiation and Required Practical
• Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Magnets and Electromagnetism

These lessons are all visual lessons which support all learners to access the curriculum, pushing students as well as scaffolding where appropriate.

The lesson follows AQA GCSE Physics with GCSE Exam questions as assessment for learning throughout, as well as a number of other fun and engaging activities to support learner agency and exam paper accessibility.

These lessons are an effective and balanced mixture of teacher-led explanation, student AFL, literacy approaches, student exam questions and pair discussions.

This unit has proved highly successful at increasing pupil engagement, and increasing exam outcomes.

There is also dual-coded integrated instruction method worksheet to support student agency in the laboratory.
