3 Lessons on Newton's Laws for a middle ability GCSE physics class

5 printable worksheets to support students with calculations on specific heat capacity, latent heat and density calculations. The first three sheets are designed to get students using the equations and following a logical set of steps towards getting an answer, with lots of scaffolding that is gradually withdrawn. The last two sheets are designed to get students using their intuition to work out what kind of calculations they should be doing, without thinking about it in terms of an equation, as this scares some students. The numbers used on all sheets are sometimes not close to real values for specific heat capacity etc. I have made the numbers smaller so they are easier to work with for lower ability students.
