Thermal energy stores revision
This engaging comic strip classroom resource is ideal for KS3 physics revision and as a learning check to assess students' understanding of thermal energy stores, particles, vibrations, heat and temperature.
It includes helpful summaries of thermal energy stores and thermal energy transfer by heat, along with a set of five thermal energy challenges for students to complete, each with a different (differentiated) score.
The comic strip summary helps to reinforce the concept of heat vs temperature and touches briefly on specific heat capacity to stretch higher attainers.
Example challenges from the resource:
Challenge 1: The alphabet
Choose 10 letters of the alphabet
and write a key word related to heat.
Write a sentence that explains
each key word. (3 points)
Challenge 3: The answer
Write five questions, each with the
