AQA GCSE Physics Springs & Extension Lesson Pack | F = ke Presentation + Workbook | EVERY Method +Answers
AQA GCSE Physics springs and extension lesson pack. Teaching slides + 20-question workbook on F = ke and elastic potential energy. AQA 4.5 Forces.
The complete teach-and-practise sequence for AQA GCSE Physics Hooke's law. The presentation introduces F = ke with animated spring extensions, then unpacks elastic potential energy with worked examples. The workbook gives learners the independent practice they need to make the rearranging automatic. One lesson, one homework, every mark on the spec point covered.
What's inside:
Resource 1 — Springs & Extension Teaching Presentation (PDF). F = k × e explained with animated extension graphics. Limit of proportionality and the difference between elastic and inelastic deformation. Elastic potential energy = ½ × k × e². Worked examples on screen using the EVERY method. Guided practice questions. Exam-style problems.
Resource 2 — Springs & Extension Calculations Workbook (PDF). 20 scaffolded calculation questions on F = ke, k = F/e, e = F/k, and Epe = ½ke². Includes force-extension graph interpretation, gradient as spring constant, area under the graph as elastic potential energy. Full worked answers using the EVERY method.
AQA specification reference: 4.5 Forces, section 4.5.5 (forces and elasticity). The relationship F = k × e is required for Foundation and Higher. Elastic potential energy Epe = ½ × k × e² is Higher tier. Suitable for AQA GCSE Physics 8463 and Combined Science Trilogy 8464.
The EVERY method: Equation, Values, Enter, Rearrange, Your units. Spring questions catch learners on unit handling (newtons, N/m, joules) and on squaring extension correctly in Epe. The method forces both to be written down on every question.
Who it's for: AQA GCSE Physics teachers planning a forces lesson, science department leads building a Paper 2 revision sequence, GCSE tutors, parents supporting Year 10 and Year 11 learners, and homeschool families on the UK national curriculum.
