Bulk properties of Materials malleability and ductility

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about Hooke’s law, the spring constant equation, Stress strain graphs and how to calculate Young’s modulus based on this. Lesson is tailored towards the AQA A-level physics specification - Mechanics and Applied Science level 3 Edexcel Unit 5 Physics.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

LO: Evaluate stress/strain graphs to discern brittle, ductile and malleable objects.

Success criteria:

SC1: Recall the trends shown during a strain/stress curve.
SC2: Compare malleability and ductility.
SC3: Explain why malleability and ductility are important in producing, tubes, screw caps and lead sheets.

For the a-level content: as a separate document included as pdf.
Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. There is also a guide attached with written walkthroughs of how to reach the final answer, even for those tricky 1 mark questions.

For the BTEC applied science level 3: The resource contains past paper questions and mark scheme answers attached to the slides.

Powerpoint contains 27 slides and 9 past paper questions.

Slides were originally created using google slides, opening in microsoft powerpoint might cause slight misalignment - open in google slides to avoid this.
