Topic: Energy efficiency / Power efficiency Level: GCSE, key stage 4 I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics. Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: This includes starter task, theory notes, small tasks, and plenary task. 2. Notes for pupils: Use this document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes exam style questions. Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload all my lessons on "Energy and Energy Resources" so that you can have a complete set of lessons for this unit. Enjoy!

This bundle consists of 25 sections covering the entirety of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics. Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks. A typical layout of each section includes: setting learning objectives learning the theory examples small tasks exam-style questions This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams. Below are the individual sections that I’ve divided the unit of Forces and Motion into. I hope that this resource is helpful and saves you plenty of time! Movement and position 1 Speed, distance, and time 2 Speed and velocity 3 Distance-time graphs 4 Velocity and acceleration 5 Velocity-time graphs 6 Tangent on distance-time graphs 7 Non-uniform acceleration Forces and movement 8 Types of forces 9 Scalars and vectors 10 Force diagrams 11 Resultant forces 12 Newton’s first law 13 Newton’s second law 14 Newton’s third law 15 Mass and weight 16 Terminal velocity 17 Stopping distance Shape and momentum 18 Hooke’s law 19 Center of gravity 20 Moments 21 Principle of moments 22 Stability 23 Momentum 24 Conservation of momentum 25 Change in momentum
