P1.3 - AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - Suggested Practical Experiments for this Unit

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

■ candidates reading the electricity meter at home on a daily or weekly basis. They could then look for trends in usage and try to explain these, eg in terms of weather conditions

■ plan and carry out an investigation using an electrical joulemeter to measure the energy transferred by low voltage bulbs of different powers, low voltage motors and low voltage immersion heaters.
