GCSE Physics - Force on a Spring and Elastic Potential Energy calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet to help students with calculating the Force on a spring given the extension and the spring constant using F=ke. It then goes on to get students to calculate elastic potential energy in the same situations using E=0.5ke^2 This worksheet comes with an Answer sheet as well!

Physics Taboo 2

(1)
Taboo card game covering the main topics for Physics 2: electricity, motion, forces, stars. Motion: Speed, velocity, acceleration, terminal velocity, stopping distances etc. Electricity: AC, Mains, Static, plugs, resistance etc. Stars: Lifecycle, nuclear processes - fission and fusion Students play in teams of two. One person picks up a card and has to describe the phrase in the top box without using any of the words on the card. Their team mate has to guess it to win. The opposing two members of the four can jump in and steal the card by guessing correctly.

GCSE Physics - Contact and non-contact forces lesson plan, presentation and worksheets

(0)
A lesson plan, presentation, and worksheets for teaching about forces. Contact and non-contact forces are covered as is drawing of vector diagrams of forces. Students apply this to real world situations in the summary task. Aimed at GCSE Physics students and GCSE AQA Trilogy but also suitable for all other exam boards. This is one of a sequence of lessons, the others are available here Grade Gain

KS3 Physics - Timeline of the universe

(0)
A fully resourced and differentiated lesson plan, presentation and worksheets for students to discover the Timeline of the universe. The lesson begins with students ranking celestial objects by size and then moves through speed of light, and size of universe to a group activity Apprentice style for them to draw a one year timeline of the universe. Great opportunity for group work and Building Learning Power. Groups 1 and 5 are for MA and LA students Group 2 can be duplicated for as many middle ability groups as necessary. Please remember to review. Thanks ;-)

A structured worksheet to take students through using the GCSE Physics equations P=VI. It starts off with 5 questions using it in the P=VI format then there are 4 further questions using the formula in a rearranged format. The final question is a tough one that requires linking knowledge from other formula, notably E=VQ and Q=It, both of which they need to know.
