Full lessons with resources for those teaching GCSE Edexcel Physics Topic 11 Electromagnetic Induction (CP11) for Combined Science classes. Lessons include easy to follow presentations that promote high levels of pupil engagement. These lessons are not suitable for Triple science classes, see my resources for SP13 instead as the lessons are quite different.
The bundle includes 2 full lessons with associated resources plus my lesson overview and equipment list for the topic.

It covers how gases can be compressed or expanded by pressure changes, how the pressure of a gas produces a force at right angles to any surface, why changing the volume of a gas changes the pressure, using the formula relating pressure and volume changes in a gas of fixed mass at constant temperature and why doing work on a gas can increase its temperature.
