Free Year 9 Physical Sciences Worksheets

3 free physical sciences resources for Year 9: 3 worksheets. Answers included.

Forces, motion, energy, light, sound and electricity. Year 9 students solve more complex equations, work with linear graphs, meet Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry, and expand binomials.

Students will practise: describing sound as a longitudinal wave; defining amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period; linking frequency to pitch and amplitude to loudness; using the wave equation v = fλ; calculating distances from echoes and sonar; defining current, voltage and resistance and stating their units; connecting ammeters in series and voltmeters in parallel; using Ohm's law (V = IR) to calculate voltage, current and resistance.

Common questions

What do Year 9 students learn about physical sciences?

Forces, motion, energy, light, sound and electricity. At Year 9, our resources focus on: describing sound as a longitudinal wave; defining amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period; linking frequency to pitch and amplitude to loudness; using the wave equation v = fλ.

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.
