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.
Below are the individual sections that I’ve divided the unit of Forces and Motion into. I hope that this resource is helpful and saves you plenty of time!
Movement and position
1 Speed, distance, and time
2 Speed and velocity
3 Distance-time graphs
4 Velocity and acceleration

This set of powerpoint presentations consists of 25 slides (around 1.5 to 2 hours of work for students).
Students will learn to explain why the pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density. Afterwards, they will progress onto learning the physics of floating and sinking objects, and the factors that influence it.
Enjoy!

I’ve used these resources with my students for the teaching of “solids, liquids and gases” or also known as “states of matter” for GCSE physics. They lasted for more than 7 lessons (45min each period), which will differ depending on your set’s ability and the duration of each period.
I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in the teaching notes. I’ve included answers to all the questions and tasks in these resources.
Enjoy!
This resource bundle includes:
1 powerpoint presentation (16 slides)
7 class handouts / worksheets
7 teaching notes for class handouts / worksheets
7 homework assignments
7 homework assignment mark schemes
Topics
State of matter - solids, liquids, gases, changing states
Specific heat capacity - calculation of SHC
