This resource contains a full lesson (presentation) on the topic ‘Changes in Energy Stores’ in the AQA physics GSCE syllabus.
The presentation contains the following learning criteria outlined in the syllabus:
Know the definition of a system.
Describe all the changes involved in the way energy is stored when a system changes.
Common situations include:
an object projected upwards
a moving object hitting an obstacle
an object accelerated by a constant force
a vehicle slowing down
an electric kettle boiling water
Calculate how energy is redistributed in a system when it changes.
Along with the presentation is a worksheet to show progress made against the learning criteria.
Revision material for energy calculations. Includes all the equations (with equation triangles) stated in the AQA specification.
