P1.4 - AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - Suggested Practical Experiments for this Unit

Suggested ideas for practical work to develop skills and understanding include the following:

■ investigating the effect of changing different variables on the output of solar cells, eg distance from the light source, the use of different coloured filters and the area of the solar cells

■ planning and carrying out an investigation into the effect of changing different variables on the output of model wind turbines, eg the number or pitch of the blades, the wind velocity

■ demonstrating a model water turbine linked to a generator

■ modelling the National Grid.
