This is a lesson aimed at the new AQA Physics GCSE module on 'Energy'. For more lessons within this series please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience
The lesson begins by introducing the concept of 'work done', by using the example of a person pedalling a bike. The first task the pupils will need to complete is to produce a mind map on activities which require work to be done in order something to happen.
Pupils are then shown the equation to calculate work done and they can work through a model question. You can work through this question with pupils on the board or ask them to try and complete it in their books, then self-assess the work.
The main activity for this lesson is a practical activity, the method for this practical is included in the PowerPoint presentation. Pupils will drag a wooden block across the desk a measured distance, the wooden block will be dragged initially with no elastic bands around it and then with one elastic band and finally with two elastic bands. Pupils will measure the force applied to drag the block using a Newton meter and record their results in a table (table included at the end of the PowerPoint). Using the measured distance and the force applied pupils can then work out the work done to drag each type of wooden block.
The plenary activity is for pupils to complete a couple more work done calculations.
All resources are included in the PowerPoint presentation.
