![]() ![]() We can ask general questions such as: “What data are in the question?” or more focused questions such as “Yes or no: are we told what the kinetic energy store is?” and follow up questions such as “What is the kinetic energy? What units do we use for that?” and so on. I find it useful to provide a framework for this such as: Students find it encouraging that on many mark schemes, the selection of the correct equation may gain a mark, even if no further steps are taken. Note that this is less cognitively demanding on the student’s working memory as they only have to recall the formula on its own they do not have to recall the formula triangle associated with it. This is an important step as once it is written down they no longer have to hold it in their working memory. Students have to recall the relevant equation as it is not given on the Data and Formula Sheet. ![]() Lets look at applying it for a typical higher level GCSE Physics calculation question
