Forces Topic Bundle: 16 complete, no-prep PowerPoint lessons covering the whole AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) Forces topic (6.5), with exam questions, worked examples, tasks and answers – no worksheets needed.

Covers scalars and vectors, contact and non-contact forces, weight, resultant forces and free body diagrams, resolving forces, work done, elasticity and Hooke’s law, speed, velocity and acceleration, distance–time and velocity–time graphs, terminal velocity, Newton’s three laws, thinking and braking distances, and momentum, including the equations W = mg, W = Fs, F = ke, s = vt, a = Δv/t, v² – u² = 2as, F = ma and p = mv.

This bundle has every lesson needed for the Forces topic in AQA Combined Science (except for Required Practicals). If you teach AQA GCSE Physics, you’ll also need four Physics-only lessons: Moments, Levers and Gears; Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure; Pressure in Liquids and Upthrust; and Changes in Momentum. You can buy them separately, or get all 20 lessons in my GCSE Physics bundle: /teaching-resource/bundle-forces-topic-gcse-physics-12835829

As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.

My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.

Teaching Order for Combined Science

1. Vectors, Scalars, Contact and Non-Contact Forces.

4. Vector Diagrams, Resolving Forces
5. Work Done and Energy Transfer
6. Forces and Elasticity
7. Distance, Displacement, Speed and Velocity
8. Distance-Time Graphs
9. Acceleration
10. Velocity-Time Graphs
11. Terminal Velocity
12. Newton’s First and Second Laws
13. Newton’s Third Law
14. Stopping Distance & Thinking Distance
15. Braking Distance & Energy
16. Momentum & Conservation of Momentum

What’s Included in each lesson:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.where applicable
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.

The lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
