Lesson (PPTX)

This resource is a fully differentiated lesson aimed at teaching the new GCSE Physics and Trilogy Physics specification, and links to the Energy and Energy resources module. This lesson is a continuation to the Hooke's law required practical.

 

This lesson has 5 learning objectives that are structured in the IDEAL format:

 

  • Identify the correct equation for a given scenario.

  • Describe the relationship between force and extension in a spring.

  • Explain, using calculation, which spring stores the most energy.

  • Apply your understanding of energy stored in a spring to calculate the difference in energy when a spring is stretched further.

  • Link understanding of force, extension and spring constant to work out how much energy is stored in a spring from the force applied to it.

 

This lesson is designed with a challenge objective and challenge questions throughout to stretch your most able students, whilst supporting your LA students.

 

Review the lesson before teaching to see how the animations and objectives will work in your lesson.
