AQA GCSE Combined Science: Energy

This deck covers the fundamental principles of energy as required by the AQA Combined Science: Trilogy specification. It includes the 8 energy stores and 4 transfer pathways, the principle of conservation of energy, calculations for work done, power, and efficiency, and concepts of thermal energy including specific heat capacity. It also covers national and global energy resources. This deck includes Required Practical 1 (Specific Heat Capacity) and Required Practical 8 (Infrared Radiation).

Lesson#1
Welcome to the AQA GCSE Combined Science deck on Energy. Energy is a fundamental concept in physics, describing the ability to do work. In this deck, we'll explore the different ways energy is stored and transferred, the crucial principle of energy conservation, and how to calculate work, power, and efficiency. We will also cover thermal energy and the required practicals for specific heat capacity and infrared radiation.
Lesson#2
In GCSE Physics, we think of energy as being stored in different ways. There are eight main energy stores you need to know. We'll go through them one by one. The first is chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds between atoms, like in food, fuels, and batteries.
Quiz#3
What is the name for the energy stored in the bonds between atoms, found in food and fuels?

chemical energy

Lesson#4
Next is kinetic energy. This is the energy an object has because it is moving. The faster an object moves, and the more mass it has, the more kinetic energy it has.
Quiz#5
What is the name for the energy an object has due to its motion?

kinetic energy

Lesson#6
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is lifted, the more gravitational potential energy it gains.
