We have worksheets for the following physics equations:
Paper 1:
Energy
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass x (Speed)2)
Elastic Potential Energy = 0.5 x Spring Constant x (Extension)2
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength x Height
Change in Thermal Energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
Efficiency calculation
Power = Energy Transferred / Time
Power = Work Done / Time
Electricity
Charge Flow = Current x Time
Potential Difference = Current x Resistance
Power = Potential Difference x Current
Power = (Current)2 x Resistance
Energy Transferred = Charge Flow x Potential Difference
Particle Model of Matter
Density = Mass / Volume
Energy for a Change of State = Mass x SLH
Paper 2:
Forces
Weight = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength
Force = Spring Constant x Extension
Speed = Distance / Time
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time
Resultant Force = Mass x Acceleration
Work Done = Force x Distance
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Waves
Period of a Wave = 1 / Frequency
Wavespeed = Frequency x Wavelength
Magnetism
Force = Magnetic Flux Density x Current X Length

Throughout my teaching career, I’ve grappled with the challenge of helping students tackle physics equations comprehensively, ensuring they show all their working out. Despite trying various methods like FIFA, I found students often struggled to remember each component or missed crucial steps in their calculations.
In response, I developed a new approach that has yielded remarkable success in my classroom. Named “HENCH” for lower-ability students and “HEINRCH” for higher-ability ones, this method breaks down each step required for marks in physics calculation questions, ensuring students don’t overlook important elements.
Given the increasing emphasis on thoroughness in exams by boards like AQA, it’s crucial for students to demonstrate their working out at every stage. This method not only helps students achieve full credit but also ensures they develop a deeper understanding of the subject. It’s a simple yet effective tool that equips students with the skills they need to excel.
It would be wonderful to see this method used consistently across many educational platforms to support our students understand how to approach difficult physics equations questions!
The resource contains worked examples of how to use HENCH/HEINRCH and photos of actually exam questions using this method.
Like and rate this resource to help it reach as many physics educators as possible!
