Planning a whole GCSE Physics topic takes hours. So I’ve made the full AQA GCSE Physics Energy topic free: 12 ready-to-teach PowerPoint lessons that work for both Combined Science and Separate Physics. Download it, open it, and teach tomorrow.
What’s in the free Energy topic
- 12 lessons, 593 slides, fully editable
- Lessons 1–8 for Combined Science; Lessons 9–12 add the Separate Physics content
- Both required practicals: specific heat capacity and thermal insulation
- Practice slides for every equation, including Ek, Ep, Ee, efficiency and power
- 6 two-part homeworks with answers and marking guidance
- A spec checklist mapping every AQA point to the lesson that teaches it
How a lesson runs
Every lesson has a clear 45-minute core path. Extra slides carry a grey EXTRA badge, so you can stretch the lesson or skip them without losing anything essential.
- Do now: five retrieval questions, two from earlier topics.
- Hook: a question to get them thinking.
- Notes and diagrams: green box means copy, blue box means talk it through. No endless copying.
- Worked example, then “we do”: a similar question with the first step done, so students have support before working alone.
- Hinge question: everyone shows A, B, C or D. Each wrong answer is linked to a common misconception, so you know whether to move on.
- Bronze, Silver, Gold tasks: starting points, not labels – everyone aims for Gold.
- Quiz and exit ticket to check what stuck.
There’s also an exam-style question with a mark scheme in every lesson, a curious question for think-pair-share, and real-life physics slides.
Every answer one click away
No hunting through answer files. In slideshow mode, every quiz question, hinge question, task, fill-in-the-blanks and exam question has a Show answer button. Quiz answers come with a one-line explanation, and calculations show the working. A Menu button on every slide jumps to any lesson.
