This collection of worksheets helps students learn the equations in GCSE physics. Students will need to state the different variable in each equation, their respective units, and all the various rearrangements for the equations.
Not all equations are included, but around 90% of them are. The triple only content equations are not included.
For use in either biology or physics lessons. This practical sheet provides a method of calculating reaction times when catching a falling ruler, using just the distance (no need to use stopwatches). The students will be calculating their reaction times with and without music, and concluding why they differ.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying transformers, in particular the ratio between number of coils and potential difference in transformers. It contains extension questions to stretch and challenge the higher achieving students. The answers have also been provided.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheet covers chapter 15.1: Magnetic Fields.
The lesson objectives are:
The force rule for two magnetic poles near each other
The pattern of magnetic field lines around a bar magnet
What induced magnetism is
Why steel, not iron, is used to make permanent magnets
The Powerpoint is aimed at all abilities, although the corresponding worksheet is aimed at lower abilities. It is suggested that during this lesson, the students should have access to magnets to play and observe with. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 215.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying momentum. It contains extension questions to stretch and challenge the higher achieving students. The answers have also been provided.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying momentum. It contains extension questions to stretch and challenge the higher achieving students. There is also a super stretch question to test your students’ ability to comprehend long questions. The answers have also been provided.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying transformers, in particular the ratio between current and potential difference in transformers. It contains extension questions to stretch and challenge the higher achieving students. The answers have also been provided.
PowerPoint presentation and worksheet aimed at KS3 students on the topic of The Moon (in space). The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the phases of the Moon
Explain why you see phases of the Moon
Explain why eclipses happen
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 1 book, chapters 4.4.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying power (part of the electricity topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and gets progressively more difficult down the worksheet. The answers have been provided.
PowerPoint presentation and worksheet aimed at KS3 students on the topic of waves. The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the different types of wave and their features
Describe what happens when water waves hit a barrier
Describe what happens when waves superpose
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheets cover chapter 15.8: Transformers in Action.
The lesson objectives are:
How the ratio of the primary to the secondary potential difference depends on the number of turns in each coil
How the number of turns on the secondary coil relates to the number of turns on the primary coil for a step-down transformer and for a step up transformer
What you can say about a transformer that is 100% efficient
Why less power is wasted using high potential difference to transfer power through the grid system
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end of the PowerPoint refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 229. The Worksheets are also aimed at high abilities, and have answers included.
