This bundle consists of 25 sections covering the entirety of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics.
Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks.
A typical layout of each section includes:
setting learning objectives
learning the theory
examples
small tasks
exam-style questions
This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams.

Energy transfer
Kinetic Energy
Gravitational Potential Energy
Conservation of Energy
Renewable / Non Renewable Energy
