This PowerPoint resource provides a comprehensive and engaging lesson on understanding power in physics, its calculation, and its application to real-world scenarios. Designed for gcse physics students, the lesson blends theoretical concepts with practical exercises.

Key learning objectives:

  • Defining power as the rate of energy transfer or work done, measured in watts (W).
  • Calculating power using the equation: Power (W)= Energy Transferred (J) / Time (s)
  • Practicing unit conversions using kilo and mega prefixes.
  • Rearranging formulas to calculate energy transferred or time.

Resource features:
The lesson begins with a starter activity designed to review basic energy concepts and set the stage for understanding power. Through examples and guided practice, students learn to calculate power in everyday contexts, such as the energy used by electrical appliances like toasters and kettles.

Key topics include:

  • Power Ratings: what they are and why they are useful.
  • Unit Conversions: Practicing conversions between watts, kilowatts, and megawatts with interactive tasks.

AQA GCSE Combined Science Physics (Foundation Tier): Energy Bundle: 11-Lesson Unit

This comprehensive 11-lesson PowerPoint bundle covers the entire AQA GCSE Combined Science Physics topic of energy, tailored specifically for foundation tier students. Each lesson is designed to build understanding through clear explanations, visual aids, and scaffolded examples, with an emphasis on accessibility and exam-readiness. Topics include energy stores and transfers, work done, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, elastic potential energy, conservation of energy, energy dissipation, efficiency, power, energy demands, and renewable resources. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. In physics, it is stored in different forms such as kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, thermal, and chemical stores. This bundle explains how energy can be transferred between stores and how it is conserved within a system. It also explores how energy is wasted (dissipated) and how to improve efficiency in everyday appliances. The bundle includes PowerPoint (.ppt) files for the following lessons: Lesson 1 – Energy Stores and Transfers Lesson 2 – Work Done and Investigating Work Done Lesson 3 – Gravitational Potential Energy Stores Lesson 4 – Kinetic Energy Stores Lesson 5 – Elastic Potential Energy Stores Lesson 6 – Conservation of Energy Lesson 7 – Energy Dissipation Lesson 8 – Energy and Efficiency Lesson 9 – Power Lesson 10 – Energy Demands Lesson 11 – Renewable Resources Each presentation features learning objectives, worked examples, student activities, and practice questions, making it suitable for lesson delivery, revision, or homework tasks. Updated in April 2025, this resource supports students preparing for the AQA GCSE Combined Science Foundation Physics paper and ensures curriculum coverage. It is ideal for classroom teaching, intervention groups, or revision sessions.
