NEW AQA GCSE Physics (2016) - Elastic Potential Energy

This is a resource aimed at the NEW GCSE Physics specification on ‘Energy’.

Other lessons from this series can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience

The lesson begins by considering objects with elastic potential energy stores. The calculation for the elastic potential energy store of an object is introduced and pupils can have a go at rearranging it themselves. **If lower ability - you can go through this on the board**

Pupils then copy and complete the table which leads them through the different stages to this calculation, they can then self-assess their work using a red pen.

The next two slides are questions pupils can complete to work out the elastic potential energy stores of various objects, these questions can be self-assessed.

The final activity is a past-paper question task (worksheet provided at the end of the PowerPoint) whereby pupils complete the questions, pass to their peers and peers will mark the work using the mark scheme provided on the PowerPoint. Peers should provide a positive comment, negative comment and something to improve.

All resources for this lesson are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation.

Thanks & enjoy :)
