Specific Heat Capacity Worksheet | KS3 / KS4 Physics Revision and Practice

This printable physics worksheet helps students develop a solid understanding of specific heat capacity through a series of structured questions suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4. Designed to take approximately 35 to 45 minutes, the sheet is ideal for use in lessons, as homework, or for independent revision. It supports calculator use and includes a full answer sheet to allow for self-assessment or guided review.

The resource covers both conceptual understanding and mathematical application. Questions explore the definition of specific heat capacity, use of the energy formula Q=mcΔT, and real-world examples involving thermal energy. Students are asked to interpret temperature data, solve calculations with correct units and significant figures, and explain energy transfer using particle theory. A practical scenario based on thermometer readings is included, along with stretch questions for more advanced learners.

This worksheet is suitable for a range of learning contexts, including classroom teaching, revision sessions, cover lessons, and targeted intervention. It promotes confidence in handling physics equations and understanding thermal processes, aligning well with GCSE physics specifications.

Key topics include specific heat capacity, thermal energy, energy transfer, particle theory, and heat calculations. The questions are designed to reinforce both knowledge and exam-style skills in thermal physics.
