A lesson (or potentially 2) focusing on reducing energy loss from domestic situations using forms of insulation. The PPT introduces typical types of insulation and learners then have opportunity to complete differentiated activities in explaining how double glazing, cavity wall and loft insulation etc. reduce heat transfer. Learners are then introduced to the financial implications of deciding which is “best” and organically arrive at the pay back time equation. There is then a differentiated equation worksheet with markscheme. The pack of activities includes; PPT lesson plan Types of insulation differentiated activity Payback time equation differentiated exercises

Designed for AQA GCSE forces, however will be applicable to other exam boards and could be used for more able KS3 groups/student. The slides introduce learners to the concept of how we record motion and how this will differ for varying speeds/changes in speed. Before allowing learners to discover and apply the rules of distance time graphs and then move onto worked calculations of extracting speed from distance time graphs. The lesson finishes with a series of true/false questions to assess learning AFl.

An adaptive practice worksheet with increasingly difficult equations moving from simple plug-in-the numbers, onto challenging questions and finally more challenging questions that bring in other elements of the energy topic. Answers provided.
