Hooke’s Law KS4 Science Physics / KS5 Recap for the topic of materials in physics L.O. To investigate how force is related to extension of a material by Hooke’s Law. To calculate the force required to extend a spring. To calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a spring. The Powerpoint presentation includes 17 slides. They contain theory, tasks, practical experiment, and questions with solutions. Some texts and images are animated, such that they appear upon click. There is a handout to go along with the practical of investigation Hooke’s law (stretching a spring using slot masses and measuring its extension.) A worksheet is included. I’ve used this sheet as homework, but you can also use it as classwork. Enjoy!

Topic: Power / Energy and Power / Energy Transfer / Work Done Level: GCSE, key stage 4 I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics. Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: This includes different tasks and theory notes for pupils 2. Notes for pupils: Use this document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete differentiated tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes exam style questions. Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload all my lessons on "Energy and Energy Resources" so that you can have a complete set of lessons for this unit. Enjoy!

Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 on the topic of Recycling. The 23 slides cover the theory and contain tasks, prompts for class discussions, and activities for pupils. There are 2 case studies at the end where pupils have to do some calculations related to recycling. I've also included my own lesson plan / notes that I wrote in preparation for teaching this lesson. Enjoy!

Here is a resource (booklet of questions) for Energy revision. I began each question covering the theory that the pupils would need to know before answering the question. Therefore, each booklet serves the purpose of revision notes as well. Answers are included in separate documents. Here are the topics covered (the more difficult questions are aimed at A-level pupils): Energy transfer Kinetic Energy Gravitational Potential Energy Conservation of Energy Renewable / Non Renewable Energy Work Done Centripetal Force Weight Terminal Velocity Gravitational Attraction Gravitational Acceleration Enjoy!

This resource is a booklet of questions for the unit of electricity in A-level Physics. I have also included the answers in a separate document. In each question, I have included the theory necessary for pupils to complete the question. It is structured in the form (1) Theory, (2) Question, (3) Multiple Choice Answers. The questions range from Basic, Medium, to Challenge. There are 14 questions in total. Enjoy!

Use this revision mat for revision of ks4 topics in forces and motion. The powerpoint is more of an aid - the main activity is the revision mat.
