This worksheet is for introducing the pressure in fluid calculations and upthrust 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 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.

KS3 Physics 4 Electricity Voltag worksheets include defintions, practicals and extension.
The 4 worksheets are editable .docx files and a pdf, they have teacher’s answers at the back
Voltage (aka Potential Difference). The definition is introduced for voltage. Pupils are helped to draw circuit diagrams for series and parallel circuits. Pupils are introduced to the rule of voltage in series and parallel.
Voltage in a Series and Parallel Circuit. This allows pupils to calculate voltage in different circuits and gain more confidence with reading circuit diagrams.
Voltage in a Series and Parallel Circuit. The outcome is the same as above, but has extension circuits near the bottom, as the circuits are more complicated. This is a tricky KS3 worksheet so good for differentiation.
Analogy of a circuit: This is a favourite activity for pupils. Pupils come up with analogies of a circuit. I’ve given the example of pizza delivery person (charge) driving around roads (wire) and transfers pizzas to house (Voltage across bulbs).
Answers included for all worksheets.

This booklet contains all the GCSE Physics formula that need to be memorised. There is a worksheet for the formulas and they were created and then honed on weaker pupils who find it challenging to apply mathematics in Physics. The familiar format used for each topic with formulae puts the pupils at ease and they feel comfortable in using new formula in this way. The completed sheet is also included for the teachers reference. To differentiate, stronger pupils can start at the end and work backwards. Weaker pupils can then complete the first page with the teacher and try to complete the table overleaf.
