This resource is the first lesson of eight for the KS3 Forces and Motion topic. It includes: a lesson plan, teaching slides, pupil workbook and answers in the teachers work book. This is the entire lesson resource, the lesson plan details requisitions required for any activities. The eight lessons are:
Introduction to Forces
Types of Forces and Effects
Balanced / Unbalanced Forces
Mass and Weight
Force and Extension (springs and Hooke’s Law)
Friction
Calculating average speed
Speed Circus
There are series for all the Physics KS3 Topics:

This worksheet is for specific heat capacity, SHC, calculations at GCSE. It contains a pupil worksheet with blanks and a teachers sheet with answers.
This is a standard format for physics calculations, to be used in class to introduce and practise each formula. These have been honed on lower set pupils and allows differentiation in the following way:
Page 1 Notes and examples completed with the teacher
Page 2 Table, allows pupils to practise using the formula and manipulating it
Page 2 Table, higher order skills for stronger pupils include s.f. and prefixes
Page 2 Questions, these get harder as you work down the questions.
The expectation is that this activity can stop when some pupils have finished the final questions, as this will still have allowed all pupils to practise problem solving. The answers can be given so pupils can complete questions for revision at the end of the top if they didn’t complete all the questions in class.
There is a pdf version and a .docx version that is editable.

This worksheet introduces random errors, how to reduce them, and two timing practicals to practice reducing random errors. Works well in Physics Forces and Motion topic when measuring time to calculate speed.
The apparatus required for the two practicals are:
Measure time for an object to fall 1 m: class set of 1m rulers, objects to drop, timers, calculators
Measure the time for a pendulum or swing to oscillate (swing back and forth once): a pendulum or swing, timers, calculators.
Great short lesson activity and the interactive element keeps it interesting and relevant.
