Weight Calculations SLOP - W=mg with Worked Solutions Slides

Three “Shed Loads of Practice” (SLOP) worksheets to give students the opportunity to independently practice calculations using the equation Weight = Mass x Gravitational field strength.

22 Questions are provided in total, each with worked solutions and multiple worked examples to support both teachers and learners. Students are supported to show full working and solutions follow the FIFA (Formula, Insert, Fine tune, Answer) routine to help improve the mathematical skills of Substitution, unit conversion, rearrangement and using significant figures.

This resource ramps up in difficulty through 3 leveled worksheets; Foundation, Higher Tier and Extension questions, to help students stretch and challenge themselves in preparation for answering calculation questions from the P5 Forces topic which would be found on AQA Physics Paper 2 (Single and combined). The resource is also suitable and adaptable for other exam boards (including Edexcel, OCR and other international boards)

Parts of this resource will be suitable for all abilities/prior attainment of student, and could be utilised as Classwork, Homework, Cover work or revision. Parts could also be used as extension work for the most able students.
