Students follow one worked example for an energy analysis calculation then complete further examples side-by-side. They are then given three further examples.
This sheet models completion of Physics calculations showing all the working out. This allows students to complete examples side-by-side with a worked example. In this sheet using the equation, work done = force x distance.
This worksheet models how to set out working for calculations on acceleration in GCSE Physics and combined science.
Students follow the examples side-by-side and then have a go at the five practice questions.
This resource gives examples of calculations which students can then complete side-by-side at first. After modelling setting out good working out the resource poses some example questions.
