GCSE physics worksheet/handout on Change in momentum (impulse).
Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use.
Learning objective:
Understand that Newton’s second law can be expressed using momentum.
Recall and use the equation relating force, change in momentum, and time.
( In this resource, I have not made reference to “impulse” because the syllabus that I follow does not require the use of this vocab. I’ve simply called it the change in momentum. )

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on Conservation of momentum.
Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use.
Learning objective:
Recall and apply the idea of conservation of momentum in collisions and explosions.
Happy teaching!
I’ve used this resource with my GCSE students revising for Electricity. The tarsia puzzle has all the electricity symbols and units that they need to know. Hope you like it!
Topic: Energy / Energy stores / Types of energy
Level: GCSE, key stage 4
I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics on Energy Stores ( or previously known as Different Types of Energy).
Resources:
1. Powerpoint slides: 18 slides with clickable items for navigation. Answers to questions in slides reveal upon clicking. I have written “Presenter’s notes” under some slides, mostly about extension ideas and some simple notes on the theory.
2. Notes for pupils: Use this 3 page document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes 1 exam style question.
3. Printout: A list of descriptions (clues) for pupils to read and guess which energy store the description is referring to. (This can be cut out and put in a hat for pupils to pick out.) This makes Task 1 in the powerpoint interactive.
Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there’s any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload all my lessons on “Energy and Energy Resources” so that you can have a complete set of lessons for this unit.
Be sure to check out this bundle I’ve uploaded for the unit of Energy (107 Slides for £8 only!):
