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

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

This lesson begins with a video on gas pressure and volume, students will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching the video. The mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint presentation so students can self-assess this work once it is complete.

Pupils are now introduced to ‘Boyle’s Law’, firstly students need to use white-boards to explain why a decrease in volume leads to an increase in pressure - students are shown a diagram of two pistons to demonstrate this. Once students have discussed this and written their ideas down on the white-board, the explanation can be revealed on the PowerPoint presentation.

Students are now introduced to the calculation: P1V1 = P2V2. Student can take a note of the calculation and they will then be shown a worked example, which they can also take notes on.

Students will then be given a set of problems to work through using the calculation, the mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint presentation so students can self-assess their work once it is complete.

Lastly, students will be given an exam-stlye question which they will need to complete in their books, ensuring that they show all their working.

The plenary task requires students to write three quiz questions, to test their peers knowledge of 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 :)
