The PowerPoint can be printed, cut and folded to produce a series of double sided flashcards to help students memorise the equations needed for the physics exam.
You need to print the slides below with 2 slides per page (big version) or 6 slides per page (mini version).
There are twenty two equations as power, energy transferred and time appear twice on the AQA spec equation sheet.
Cut each box out and fold along the dashed line to create back to back flash cards.
On each card you are given the name of the variables that you should be able to identify in the exam question.
On one slide you have the matching units that you need to memorise to check if you need to convert any values in the exam question.
On the second slide you have the equation triangle, that you need to memorise, so you can rearrange the equation and answer the question.
