P2.2 - AQA GCSE Physics Unit 2 - Suggested Practical Experiments for this Unit

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

■ investigating the transfer of Ep to Ek by dropping a card through a light gate

■ plan and carry out an investigation to measure velocity using trolleys and ramps

■ running upstairs and calculating work done and power, lifting weights to measure power

■ a motor lifting a load to show how power changes with load

■ stretching different materials before using as catapults to show the different amounts of energy transferred, indicated by speed reached by the object or distance travelled.
