Ключові ідеї глави у зрозумілій послідовності перед практикою.
Define the system and identify how energy or momentum is transferred. Conservation applies to the correct system and time interval.
Write initial and final quantities before substituting numbers. This exposes losses, external work, and direction.
Energy describes an amount, while power describes its transfer rate. Do not compare systems using work alone when time matters.
For “Energy stores”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Energy transfers”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Heating”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Energy resources”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Fossil fuels”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.

A 2 kg body moves at 7 m/s. Find its kinetic energy and momentum.
Ek = 49 J, p = 14 kg·m/s
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Energy stores” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Energy stores”, but also why it is valid here.

Вісім завдань від базових навичок до екзаменаційного рівня. Спочатку виконайте самостійно.
A 6 kg mass moves at 6 m/s. Find kinetic energy.
Ek=1/2 mv².
Ek=108 J.
A machine transfers 2700 J in 15 s. Find power.
P=E/t.
P=180 W.
Structure a solution for “Heating”: givens, SI units, law, substitution, and interpretation.
State the law before substituting numbers.
A full solution states symbols/units, selects a valid law for “Heating”, shows substitution and calculation, and interprets the result.
Identify three uncertainty sources in measuring “Energy resources” and improve each one.
Consider instrument resolution, reaction time, repeats, and controls.
A full response links each specific error source to a targeted improvement and identifies random or systematic impact.
Plan a suitable graph for “Fossil fuels” data and explain how to obtain a gradient or relationship.
Put the independent variable on x and dependent variable on y.
A full response labels axes/units, uses a suitable scale and best fit; gradient uses a large triangle and is interpreted with units.
Check whether a result for “Renewable resources” is sensible using units, order of magnitude, and a limiting case.
A check should not merely repeat the same calculation.
A full check confirms dimensions/units, compares expected magnitude, and tests behaviour when one variable becomes very small or large.
Connect “Simple efficiency ideas” to energy conservation or a force/field model and justify the choice.
Define the system and interactions.
A full response defines the system, describes transfer or interaction, applies the appropriate model, and states losses or limitations.
Write a multi-step exam response about “Energy stores” with calculation and evaluation.
Separate givens, model, calculation, result, and evaluation.
A full response includes an appropriate diagram/model, laws, algebraic rearrangement, SI substitution, suitably precise result, and evaluation of assumptions.

Physics
KS3 Year 7: структурований маршрут з математики та фізики з розділами, практикою і наступними кроками.
Структура відповідає підручнику й допомагає організувати вивчення теми.
Теми, де найчастіше виникають помилки або потрібна додаткова практика.
З чого почати: підручник, daily material, PDFs, videos і worked examples.
Цільова практика перед full tests, щоб coverage було зрозумілим.
Як вимірювати прогрес у главі і коли додавати її до загального mock.
Що робити після глави і як вона пов'язана з наступним розділом.
Примітка: офіційну екзаменаційну програму кожного року завжди уточнюйте у школі, викладача та за поточними офіційними джерелами.
