NEW AQA GCSE (2016) Physics - Gas Pressure & Temperature

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Physics GCSE, particularly the 'Molecules & Matter’ SoW.

For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience

Firstly, students are asked to ‘Think > Pair > Share’ their ideas about how a gas exerts pressure upon a surface. Students will need to discuss their ideas within groups before feeding back the class, the explanation can then be revealed using the PowerPoint presentation - including a diagram.

Students will then watch a video on gas pressure and temperature, students will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching the video. Once this has been completed students can self-assess their working using the mark scheme provided.

Students are now shown some information on an investigation into the effect of temperature on gas pressure, using the PowerPoint presentation. Students will need to read the information and and answer questions on a worksheet, this work can then be self or peer assessed using the mark scheme provided.

Lastly, students are now given an information sheet about observing random motion of gas particles using a smoke within a smoke cell. Students will be given a set of questions that they will need to answer after reading the information sheet, they can work together in pairs. The mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint so students can assess and correct their work once this is complete.

The plenary task requires pupils to complete a set of sentence starters to summarise what they have learned this lesson.

All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
