CIE IGCSE Combined Science P2 REVISION (Work, energy and power)

This fully-resourced revision lesson contains a wide range of activities that will challenge the students on their knowledge and understanding of the content detailed in the CORE and SUPPLEMENT sections of topic P2 (Work, energy and power) of the CIE IGCSE Combined Science specification. These activities include exam style questions which will allow the students to assess their progress against the clearly explained answers. There is also a quiz that runs throughout the course of the lesson and this has been designed to maintain engagement and motivation.

The following specification points have been covered in this lesson:

• Recall and use the equation to calculate work done
• Demonstrate an understanding that work done = energy transferred
• Understand that an object may have energy due to its motion or position
• Recall and use the equations to calculate kinetic and gravitational potential energy
• Recognise the ways that energy is transferred during events and processes
• Apply the conservation of energy
• Recall and use the equation to calculate power
• Distinguish between renewable and non-renewable sources of energy
• Describe how electricity is obtained from the tides, hydroelectric power and nuclear fission

One of the main tasks of the lesson, which challenges the students to apply the law of the conservation of energy, has been differentiated so that differing abilities can access the work
