Energy Stores and Transfers

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

  • Understand that when a force makes things change it mechanically transfers energy between different energy stores.

  • Understand that friction transfers energy...

Describing speed

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

  • Identify an object that has a higher speed because it travels further in a given time
  • Identify an object that has a higher speed than another when they travel different distances...

Motion graphs

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

  • Read values of distance or time off the axes of a distance-time graph for a plotted point
  • Describe the changes to an object represented by a move from one point on a distance-time...

Changing motion

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

  • Calculate the size and direction of the resultant force of two forces acting along the same straight line
  • Describe how quickly the speed of an object can be changed if acted on by...
