Forces

This page contains a wide range of resources to help teachers develop students’ understanding of forces, speed and velocity, key areas of GCSE Physics. 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 moments, kinetic energy, force, work, power, speed, velocity, acceleration, circular motion, momentum, collisions and safety measures. These include:
    • revision and teaching materials to help students grasp more complex processes
    • questions and quizzes to test students’ knowledge and help with their revision
    • resources to support practical work and practical applications of concepts.
  • Links to websites and resources matched to GCSE Physics specifications and produced by the Institute of Physics (Practical Physics) and other organisations. Some of these sites are very comprehensive and support a wide range of topics and activities; others are more specific.

Specification links: AQA P3 13.1 and 13.2, Edexcel 360 P6, OCR Gateway P5, OCR 21st Century Science P4, WJEC P3.6.

If you cannot find what you want in the listed resources, enter keywords from your specification in the Search box on the right. Reduce the number of ‘hits’ by using inverted commas to search for phrases.
