Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Specific Heat Capacity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. Rewritten and improved 16.05.22.
Specific Heat Capacity is included in the exam specification in two separate places:
- Energy Topic (Physics 4.1.1.3 / Combined Science 6.1.1.3) where it is followed by a required practical.
- Particle Model of Matter Topic (Physics 4.3.2.2 / Combined Science 6.3.2.2)
The exam spec points are virtually the same for each. I have written this lesson so that it can be taught in either place, however the required practical means it is likely to be taught in the energy topic.
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Starter / Do Now Activity with answers
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.

Learning objectives:
- Describe the difference between thermal energy and temperature.
- Define specific heat capacity.
- Describe the factors that affect the amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes.
- Explain how specific heat capacity can affect temperature changes and energy stored or released for different substances.
- Use the equation below to determine the temperature change, mass or specific heat capacity of an object, or the change in thermal energy.
- Change in thermal energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

Bundle: Particle Model of Matter
**See preview videos.** **Complete No-Prep lessons** with **exam questions, tasks and answers** on Particle Model of Matter (6.3 / 4.3) for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality **no-prep** lessons so busy teachers can teach **outstanding lessons without spending hours planning.** These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all **with answers**) and **unique exam questions**.

The **preview videos** show a representative sample of slides from the resources so that you get a good idea of what they include before you buy. *Note: This bundle was previously based on the teaching order in the textbook and was called "Molecules and Matter" and did not include specific heat capacity. I have changed it to fit the order in the specification rather than the textbook. Please download it again for free if you purchased it previously.* **Lessons Included in this no-prep bundle:** * Density * States of Matter, Kinetic Theory, Changes of State * Latent Heat, Heating and Cooling Curves / Graphs * Internal Energy * Specific Heat Capacity * Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation * Gas Pressure and Temperature * Gas Pressure and Volume **A typical lesson includes:** * Two Starter / Do Now activities so you can extend this over two lessons if needs be. * Starter / Do Now Activity * Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with **animated diagrams**. * Worked examples of calculations. * Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “**learning check / quick questions**” followed by a set of **in-depth questions** on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson.

All of the above are applicable to both AQA (9-1) Combined Science *and* Physics but are very likely to be fully applicable for other exam boards. Some lessons are not required for Combined Science, so I have included them at no extra cost.
