Energy

This page contains a range of resources to help teachers and students understand the effect of energy on how gases behave. There are resources that will help those who are new to delivering GCSE Physics as well as materials that will appeal to established practitioners.

You will find

• Resources related to energy and its measurement, the kinetic theory of gases, change of state, the effects of changing temperature and pressure, thermodynamics, temperature and its measurement and absolute zero. These include:
  • teaching and revision materials that help students understand underlying concepts and their application
  • visual resources that help make the link between energy and particular behaviour easier to understand
  • interactive teaching materials
  • examples of the application of theory to real-life situations.
• Links to websites and resources matched to GCSE Physics specifications and produced by various organisations including NASA, BAMA (the British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association), Physics 2000, Visionlearning and the University of Leeds.

Specification links: Edexcel 360 P3 Topic 5, OCR 21st Century Science P5.
