Momentum and its calculations, KS4, Physics, New GCSE Specification

This resources contains a comprehensive introduction to introduce momentum and its calculations using p = m x v.

The resources have activities for the lowest to highest level students with level 9 questions to stretch the most able as well as extension activities related to other areas of the GCSE course such as required practicals.

Included is a differentiated powerpoint, calculations worksheet with keywords, learning objectives, differentiated outcomes and a range of activities to allow your students to explore this topic. It uses language and models which allow students to access the fundamental concept of calculations using momentum, mass and velocity. Included are learning objectives for grades (3-9). Model answers which scaffolds the calculations needed and allows student to learn how to structure their work when completing calculations related to p = m x v. The PPT is differentiated throughout with extension tasks for the more able learner. There are exam style assessment questions for students to test their knowledge. This powerpoint can also be easily adapted for a KS3 class.
