Checked learning resources

  • Power: work done or energy transferred per second

    Oak National Academy · Video · Opens on the provider website

    Year 10 GCSE Physics lesson defining power as the rate of work done or energy transferred and applying P = W ÷ t in calculations such as 15 J transferred over 20 s.

  • Mass, weight and gravitational field strength

    Cognito · Video · Opens on the provider website

    GCSE Physics interactive video lesson comparing mass and weight, defining gravitational field strength and applying W = mg in calculations on Earth and the Moon. It directly covers mass weight and gravitational field str

  • Momentum and momentum calculations

    Oak National Academy · Video · Opens on the provider website

    GCSE Physics lesson defining momentum as mass multiplied by velocity, p = mv, treating momentum as a vector and applying the equation in calculations before extending to how force changes momentum.

  • Contact and non-contact forces

    Cognito · Video · Opens on the provider website

    GCSE Physics interactive video lesson investigating different types of forces and their applications, distinguishing contact forces such as friction, tension and normal reaction from non-contact gravitational, magnetic a

  • Hooke's law: spring force, extension and graphs

    Oak National Academy · Video · Opens on the provider website

    Year 10 GCSE Physics lesson applying Hooke's law F = ke, calculating force, spring constant and extension, and analysing force-extension graphs including proportionality and the limit of proportionality.

  • Newton's First Law through resultant forces

    Oak National Academy · Video · Opens on the provider website

    GCSE Physics lesson applying Newton's First Law to balanced and unbalanced forces: zero resultant force means rest or constant velocity, while a non-zero resultant force changes motion.

  • Newton's Second Law and F = ma

    Oak National Academy · Video · Opens on the provider website

    GCSE Physics lesson explaining Newton's Second Law and applying resultant force = mass × acceleration, F = ma, in calculations including rearranging for mass or acceleration.
