GCSE Science - Foundation Work Done/Energy Transferred (W=Fs) Calculations Practice (with answers)

This is the Foundation tier/Level 1 version of Work Done Calculations 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 Energy and Forces equation: W=Fs (Work Done = Force x distance).

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 P1 Energy and P5 Forces and is an important equation showing the link between 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.
• Clear FIFA Routine Expectations: Solutions follow the FIFA approach (Formula, Insert, Fine-tune, Answer), supporting students in applying key mathematical skills such as substitution, rearrangement, and unit conversion.
• Progressive Difficulty: Questions gradually increase in complexity.
• Fuss-free Feedback: Solutions and answers are provided in a ready-to-print Word document and a projectable PowerPoint slide deck.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for classroom learning, homework, cover work, or revision. Adaptable for Edexcel and OCR.
