I am currently a Lecturer in Engineering Design at a University, prior to this I worked in secondary schools as a specialist physics teacher. My experience from working at these levels of education has emphasised the need to ensure fundamentals in science are mastered by students for continued success in education & beyond. My resources aim to clearly communicate complex scientific principles through clear visuals and explanations - with well structured tasks to practice what has been learnt.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on ‘Velocity - time graphs’ written in line with new AQA Physics specification.

Starter prompts pupils to discuss what would win a race, a sports car on the road or a car falling from the sky in a mile race. Pupils are then asked to put cars in order acceleration in terms of 0-60 mph.
The difference between speed and velocity is highlighted.
A class activity uses a video car chase for pupils to time the duration of different events which is then used to create a velocity time graph. This allows for the v-t graph to be discussed in terms of what the trends show.

Key v-t graph trends are highlighted and reviewed with how gradients of v-t graphs can give acceleration. Pupils are then tasked to answer questions in relation to the v-t graph from the car chase video.

A quick task requires pupils to match v-t graph trends with d-t graph trends.
The plenary takes a look at a v-t graph for a sky diver to start discussing this area.

Lesson Objectives:

  1. Plot a v-t graph.
  2. Identify key v-t graph trends.
  3. Use the gradient of a v-t graph to calculate the acceleration of an object.
  4. Analyse motion of a body using a v-t graph.

A nicely chunked lesson that my foundation students will be able to access. I couldn't have made a better presentation myself; has saved me LOADS of time. Thank you!

A really excellent lesson which my year 10 students enjoyed. Thanks very much.
