Every AQA GCSE Physics required practical in one printable pack. Each of the 10 practicals has clear notes and diagrams, “In plain English” boxes that explain the hard ideas simply, sample results to analyse and a full page of exam-style and working scientifically questions. A separate answers booklet has the completed results, graphs and mark schemes. Every practical is labelled Combined Science or Separate Physics only.

Try before you buy: the free Density practical is the complete worksheet from the pack, with its answers, so you can see exactly what every practical looks like.
What’s inside every practical
- Background notes with the key physics and equations, in AQA wording.
- “In plain English” boxes: short, friendly explanations with everyday examples, two or three per practical.
- Clear labelled diagrams of the apparatus and circuits.
- Variables, method, and a hazards and accuracy table covering what AQA mark schemes credit.
- Sample results with an anomaly to spot and blank columns to calculate, so it works even if students missed the practical.
- A full page of questions that build from recall to analysis: graphs, gradients, anomalies, errors, resolution, precision and accuracy.
- Answers booklet with completed results tables, expected graphs and full mark schemes.
Every practical starts on a new page and the contents page gives its page range, so you can print just the practical you need.

Questions
Is it for Combined Science or separate Physics?
Both. Eight practicals are in Combined Science (Trilogy) and separate Physics; thermal insulation and light are separate Physics only. Each practical is clearly labelled at the top.
Are the answers included?
Yes, in a separate answers booklet, so you can hand out the worksheets without the answers.
Can I copy it for my classes?
Yes. One purchase covers unlimited printing and sharing with your own students. Please don’t upload it to public websites.
How is it different from the required practical workbooks?
The required practical workbooks are interactive self-marking Excel files covering all three sciences. This pack is printable PDF worksheets for Physics, with written exam-style questions and mark schemes. They work well together.
