This is a resource which meets specification points for the NEW AQA GCSE Physics 'Energy' module.
The lesson begins by introducing the concept of gravitational potential energy stores, pupils will have learnt about this in the first lessons from this module on 'Energy stores' (found in my TES shop - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience).
Pupils are then given the first calculation needed to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of an object (weight x height). Pupils can then practise using this calculation by copying and completing the task on the next slide. Pupils will self-assess their work, answers provided on a PowerPoint slide.
Pupils are then introduced to the second calculation they can use to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of an object (mass x gravitational field strength x height). Pupils can then complete questions 1-5 on the worksheet provided and once finished they can self-assess their work.
The final activity is for pupils to look at a past-paper question, with their partners they can discuss how to go about answering the question. Following a class discussion pupils can attempt to answer the question and then self-assess their work. **For higher ability pupils they can complete the question without the class discussion**.
The plenary is a '30 second conversation', pupils turn to their partners and talk about what they have learnt this lesson for 30 seconds.
All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
