AQA GCSE Physics P1.1 Changes in energy stores

This PowerPoint resource is designed to support teacher trainees & learning for the AQA GCSE Physics topic P1.1: Changes in Energy Stores. It covers the fundamental concepts of energy storage and transfer, with a focus on:

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the ways in which energy can be stored: The resource explores different forms of energy stores, such as kinetic, gravitational potential, chemical, and thermal.
• Explain how energy can be transferred: Students will learn about the processes of energy transfer, including mechanical work, heating, and radiation.
• Describe the changes in energy stores when an object falls: The resource explains how gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as an object falls.
• Describe and explain the energy transfers that occur when a falling object hits the ground: This section covers the conversion of kinetic energy into other forms, such as sound and thermal energy, when an object impacts the ground.

The PowerPoint includes clear explanations, visual aids, and examples to help students understand these concepts. It also features interactive activities and questions to assess understanding and promote engagement in the classroom.
