Complete No-Prep lesson with exam quality questions, activities and answers on Gravity, Weight and Mass.
Written for KS3. However it covers GCSE content too and would be useful with lower ability GCSE classes.
High quality no-prep lessons so that busy teachers like you can teach excellent lessons without spending hours preparing and planning.
This high quality lesson delivered using PowerPoint includes explanations, different types of in-lesson activities and assessments (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for both Physicists and non-Physicists – the lesson takes learners on a journey that carefully builds up their understanding step by step using literacy as one key element, while still going into the appropriate depth.
What’s Included:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / settling Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• Mnemonic.
• Gap fill & literacy activities.
• Unique Worksheet - with all answers.
• Exam-style questions covering the whole lesson content at the end of the lesson - these are unique, based on real exam questions not simply copied from exam boards.
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
The lesson is applicable to AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam specifications.

Dangers of radiation. A complete and ready to deliver high quality GCSE lesson from Barclayfox.
There is nothing to do ! Even if you do not have time to look at it in advance it is not a problem as the PPT will lead you smoothly through the lesson.
Lesson objectives:
Understand the dangers of “ionising” radiation and the damage they can cause (ManKinD).
Know how to safely handle radioactive sources and protect yourself (TarDiS)
Understand contamination and irradiation.
Explain how ideas about the world can change.
Please note: This lesson does not cover “uses” as they are covered in the Barclayfox lesson 8 of this topic. This lesson is called “Nuclear radiation uses in medicine”.
My lessons cover the whole of this “atomic structure” topic but do not blindly follow the textbook order instead they use a structure that has proved highly successful over many years.
Uses in medicine lesson is here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/nuclear-radiation-uses-in-medicine-sterilisation-diagnosis-treatment-tracers-radiotherapy-etc-11703961
This carefully crafted lesson is over 30 slides long, and is full of learning activities some are noted below:
* ALL answers are provided throughout!
* Starter - recaps previous lessons (with answers).
* Paired work activities.
* Scientific literacy activity.
* Homeworks - 2 - you choose.
* Questions.
* Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities, not ‘death by powerpoint’).
* Video clip link (carefully selected – this alone can save you a lot of searching).
* Gap fill activity.
* Unscramble the words race.
* Plenary quiz.
* Student self-assessment versus objectives activity.
As teachers we all work ridiculously long hours each week. Give yourself a break, spend some life with your loved ones, press buy now!

Too many of my students were making mistakes with significant figures and writing answer to the wrong number of sig figs.
This skill is more important under the 9-1 spec so I wrote this worksheet with answers to help fix this problem.

FREE lesson, so you can see the quality of my “Barclayfox” lessons. Ready to deliver high quality KS3 lesson from Barclayfox. This lesson introduces waves by teaching KS3 learners about: Waves, wave types, functions, wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough, longitudinal waves, transverse waves, and superposition etc.
Like all my barclayfox lessons this is a complete and ready to use high quality lesson. I have used this lesson and improved it many times with my different classes across ten+ years.
There is nothing to do but give it a quick look through it. But, if you (like me!) cannot resist making a change its modular nature makes it very quick and easy to modify it to your exact requirements.
No marking for you ! :-) All answers for all activities are included in the PPT to allow peer and/or self-assessment to reduce your workload !
I’ve spent a lot of time on this improving it after lessons spread over 10+ years, I hope you find this FREE lesson useful in your teaching. If you find it useful please encourage me with some positive feedback :-D
If you like this lesson there are many more like it in both style and quality my shop, here’s the link:
