Free Year 10 Energy, Light, Sound & Electricity Worksheets

3 free energy, light, sound & electricity resources for Year 10: 3 worksheets. Answers included.

Forms and transfer of energy, light and shadows, sound, circuits. Year 10 prepares students for senior courses: quadratics, simultaneous equations, surds, trigonometry and logarithms, plus data analysis.

Students will practise: applying the law of conservation of energy; calculating efficiency as a percentage from energy or power values; rearranging the efficiency formula to find useful output or total input; interpreting energy flow (Sankey) data; calculating gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy; solving conservation of energy problems; explaining ways to improve efficiency; calculating power using P = VI and P = E ÷ t.

Common questions

What do Year 10 students learn about energy, light, sound & electricity?

Forms and transfer of energy, light and shadows, sound, circuits. At Year 10, our resources focus on: applying the law of conservation of energy; calculating efficiency as a percentage from energy or power values; rearranging the efficiency formula to find useful output or total input; interpreting energy flow (Sankey) data.

Where should we start?

Start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet, then move up a level. Finish with the topic test if there is one.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Read the short explanation together before starting the questions.
  2. Where a worksheet suggests a simple experiment at home, try it: seeing beats reading.
  3. Ask "How do you know?" so answers are backed by evidence.
  4. Use the answer sheet to talk about why an answer is right, not just whether it is.
