Complete GCSE Physics lessons on Ohm's Law (Potential Difference & Resistance) using key content from AQA Physics P2. Starter begins with simple discuss and demo of how to make a ball move without touching it which leads to a discussion of gravitational potential and so can be related to electrical potential, potential difference. A class activity to make a pupil circuit is detailed along with guidance on set-up and questioning throughout. This can be greater used later as AfL and to help with series and parallel circuits. The main uses the ohm's law investigation to get pupils to investigate the relationship between current and voltage which leads to ohm's law and the equation. Questions included to conclude lesson. More P2 lessons to come.

GCSE Physics P2 lesson Series Circuits using key content from AQA exam specification. The starter for the lesson revisits models as a way of helping to explain principles of electric circuits. The model used is a simple model which you can do as a class activity or a class demo by simply using string with dots spotted around the string. This helps to summarise key terms before moving onto series circuit rules. The string model is then used to help pupils explain key series circuit rules which are summarised. The main uses a circuit experiment requiring the pupils to build 6 different simple circuits using ammeters and voltmeters, results can be drawn with circuit diagrams. (Support sheet included for pupils that may struggle drawing circuits). Plenary uses a series of questions to apply pupil knowledge of series circuit rules. More P2 lessons to come.

A completely resourced lesson on GCSE Physics P2 - Energy, Voltage and Charge including key content from AQA exam specification. AS A NOTE THIS CONTENT IS RELEVANT HIGHER TIER PUPILS AS STATED IN THE AQA EXAM SPECIFICATION. The starter is in the style of the 'countdown conundrum' which is for some of the lessons key words. Questions review key electric current knowledge from earlier P2 content which is relevant to the lesson and also serves as a recap/revision opportunity. Key electrical current concepts are summarised. Current and charge are related together in an explanation and through the relevant equation with questions for pupils to complete using this. Energy in circuits is reviewed with a literacy based question on resistors heating up. The E=VxQ equation is explained leading to questions using the equation plus ohm's law and circuit rules (for extra challenge and P2 review). More P2 lessons to come

A completely resourced lesson on GCSE Physics P2 - Resultant Forces including key content from AQA exam specification and relevant to Edexcel. The starter begins with review of pupil knowledge on forces basics through a quick quiz which prompts initial discussion on what forces are and also the difference between mass and weight. A class activity is detailed which uses just string and newton meters to carry out a scaled down and safer version of tug-of-war resultant forces. This allows for key conclusion to be drawn from observation relating to resultant forces. Discussion of real-life contexts allows for statements to be made about resultant forces on moving objects. Two tasks are provided to consolidate resultant forces of stationary and moving objects - either through a card sort or for the pressed for time a similar task in work sheet form. Resolving resultant forces is reviewed with the fun activity - resultant forces dance mat. Great activity for the entire class but chose your music carefully. The lesson finishes with a summary of key conclusion on resultant forces relating to Newtons Laws. More P2 lessons to come
