This resource contains a full lesson (presentation) on the topic ‘Changes in Energy Stores’ in the AQA physics GSCE syllabus.

The presentation contains the following learning criteria outlined in the syllabus:

1. Know the definition of a system.
2. Describe all the changes involved in the way energy is stored when a system changes.
   Common situations include:
   an object projected upwards
   a moving object hitting an obstacle
   an object accelerated by a constant force
   a vehicle slowing down
   an electric kettle boiling water
3. Calculate how energy is redistributed in a system when it changes.

Along with the presentation is a worksheet to show progress made against the learning criteria.
