New AQA P1.5 ( Physics spec 4.1 - exams 2018) - Energy changes in a system, specific heat capacity

AQA P1 (New GCSE Spec – Unit 4.1 – Energy)

Lesson: P1.5 – Energy changes in a system, Specific heat capacity + required practical 1 (combined and triple)

Specification points covered =

4.1.1.3 - Energy transfers in systems
Required practical 1: Investigation to determine the specific heat capacity of one or more materials. The investigation links the decrease of one energy store or work done to the increase in temperature and subsequent increase in thermal energy stored.

A fully resourced lesson covering energy changes in a system, particularly energy transfers linking specific heat capacity of a material and required practical 1. The lesson covers both the higher and foundation tier objectives given in the specification with fully differentiated tasks and answers to cover both, to be used when teaching the new physics specification GCSE of AQA P1 (Paper 1, Topic 1).

Fully resourced with differentiated tasks and activities shown on power point slides. Any questions/tasks set for students have peer or self-assessment slides available with answers showing.
