Physics & Combined Science (8463 / 8464) | Fully Editable | Exam-Focused

Updated for 2025 AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science, this complete, ready-to-teach lesson and required practical pack covers P2.4 – Specific Heat Capacity in full alignment with the AQA specification.

Students investigate how the temperature of a material changes as energy is transferred, apply the equation Q = mcΔT, and analyse experimental data to calculate specific heat capacity accurately. The resource includes full guidance for running or demonstrating the practical, structured worked examples, and exam-style application questions to build confidence and mathematical fluency.

Includes FREE AI Long-Answer Feedback – students can submit their required-practical evaluation or six-mark responses online and receive instant, AQA-aligned WWW/EBI feedback to improve structure, precision, and scientific reasoning.

What’s Included:

• Fully editable PowerPoint covering theory, apparatus, safety, and method
• Clear particle-model explanations linking energy transfer to internal energy
• Printable student worksheet with blank data tables and model answers
• Step-by-step calculation examples (Foundation → Higher tiers)
• Mark-scheme-style questions with fully worked solutions
• Retrieval starter and plenary quiz
• Teacher guidance for practical delivery or demonstration
• Full answer key for all tasks
• BONUS: Free AI long-answer feedback aligned to AQA required practical criteria

Topics Covered:

• Definition and calculation of specific heat capacity
• Using and rearranging Q = mcΔT
• Measuring temperature change during controlled heating
• Controlling variables and reducing unwanted heat loss
• Graphical analysis and interpretation of results
• Evaluation of systematic and random errors
• Improving accuracy, repeatability, and reliability

Why Teachers Love It:

• Curriculum-true to AQA Physics (8463 / 8464)
• Complete required practical package – no prep needed
• Strong exam focus with structured maths support
• Differentiated for Foundation and Higher tiers
• Clear AO3 evaluation scaffolding for 6-mark questions
• Supports AI-enhanced feedback for extended responses

Perfect For:

• Teaching or revising the Specific Heat Capacity Required Practical
• GCSE Physics and Combined Science Paper 1
• Practical write-ups, retrieval, or homework tasks
• Departmental standardisation of required practical delivery

Format:

PPTX slides | DOCX / PDF worksheets | Fully editable | Print-friendly | Instant download
