GCSE Science - Foundation Current Calculations Q=It Calculations (SLOP with answers)

This is the Foundation tier/Level 1 worksheet adapted for lower sets/prior-attainment students with lower demand calculations, and colour coded variables to aid with substitution and rearrangement.

Equip your students with the confidence and skills to master current and charge flow calculations with this “Shed Loads of Practice” (SLOP) worksheet, focused on the essential Electricity equation: Q=It (Current = Current x time).

This resource offers students the opportunity to independently practice and refine their calculation skills through 9 worded questions, with a strong emphasis on showing full working. This equation appears in P2 Electricity and links the two topics.

This worksheet is ideal for preparing students to answer calculation questions typically found on AQA Physics Paper 1 and is equally valuable for other exam boards.

Included:

• Ready-to-print worksheet
• Ready-to-print solution document
• Worked examples and solutions PowerPoint

Features:

• Worked Examples: Model the methods for calculations and problem-solving.
