This PowerPoint resource provides an engaging and interactive lesson designed to help students understand the factors affecting kinetic energy, how to calculate it, and the relationship between mass, speed, and energy. It is ideal for high school physics classes focusing on motion and energy.

Key learning objectives:

  • Identifying the factors that affect an object’s kinetic energy store: mass and speed.
  • Calculating kinetic energy using the formula: KE (J)=0.5×mass (kg)×speed2(m/s)
  • Investigating how changes in mass and speed influence the kinetic energy of objects.

Resource features:
The lesson begins with a starter activity to compare kinetic energy in scenarios like race cars traveling at different speeds. It explains how speed has a squared effect on kinetic energy, emphasizing the significant impact of velocity changes.

Key topics include:

  • The relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and speed, with examples such as a car accelerating or braking.
  • Practical calculations of kinetic energy in real-world examples, including bowling balls, sprinters, and cheetahs.
  • Rearranging the kinetic energy formula to solve for mass or speed in challenging scenarios, reinforcing problem-solving skills.

Students also conduct a hands-on investigation using toy cars on ramps, varying the mass and speed of the cars to explore their effects on kinetic energy. Data is recorded, analyzed, and used to draw conclusions about energy storage in moving objects.

File details:
This editable ‘.pptx’ file aligns with physics curricula and supports theoretical and practical learning. It includes clear visuals, guided examples, and interactive tasks, making it an essential resource for teaching kinetic energy and motion.

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.
