I am currently a Lecturer in Engineering Design at a University, prior to this I worked in secondary schools as a specialist physics teacher. My experience from working at these levels of education has emphasised the need to ensure fundamentals in science are mastered by students for continued success in education & beyond. My resources aim to clearly communicate complex scientific principles through clear visuals and explanations - with well structured tasks to practice what has been learnt.

GCSE Physics - Radioactivity, Atomic Structure > Alpha, Beta and Gamma Radiation

(0)
A complete and detailed lesson on Radioactivity, focusing on atomic structure, alpha particles, beta particles and gamma radiation. (created with AQA and Edexcel specification content). Lesson Objectives: - Recall and detail the basic structure of an atom. - Relate number of protons, electrons and neutrons to mass and atomic numbers. - Explain how atoms form ions & identify the isotopes of different elements. - Explain radioactivity in terms of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The lesson guides pupils very clearly through exactly what radioactivity is by starting with the atom and so isotopes. Starter prompts pupils to find the key words for the lesson using a 'say what you see' game. Following a review of the atoms structure and properties through questioning. A task exploring the periodic table using relative atomic mass and atomic number familiarises pupils with these as they are important later. Ions are reviewed through a task using visuals of atoms/ions to identify ions or atoms with appropriate charge. This then leads onto explaining what isotopes which can then be linked to unstable elements. Radioactivity is then explained through a basic description relating to like charges of protons in the nucleus and the required binding energy to hold the nucleus together. Alpha, Beta and Gamma are then reviewed with visuals of the process to relate to pupils clearly what happens. A literacy task summarises and reviews the lesson.

(1)
2 COMPLETE LESSONS ON NUCLEAR RADIATION. A complete and detailed lesson on Radioactivity, focusing on the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation & a second lesson on uses of nuclear radiation (created with AQA and Edexcel specification content). PROPERTIES OF NUCLEAR RADIATION 1) Review the characteristics of the 3 types of nuclear radiation. 2) Identify the penetrating power and range of type of radiation. 3) Explain what is meant by ionising radiation and relate to the three types and applications of this. 4) Compare and contrast the effect of magnetic and electric fields of nuclear radiation. Pupils are prompted to post questions they have on nuclear radiation so far and in general which can be discussed by the class to serve as some recap on the previous lesson, deal with misconceptions and highlight progress when these may be answered during the lesson (and previous lessons). Pupils recap the content of the previous lesson on the characteristics of the 3 types of radiation as this is important to the current lesson and exercises their knowledge on the subject. Penetrating power and range of the types of radiation is covered in detail using animations. Ionisation is reviewed by challenging pupils through questioning relating to previous content. This is then related to radiation and the types ability to ionise atoms. This lead to descriptions of photographic film and a detailed description of how the geiger-muller counter work with a bespoke animation to assist this. Deflection of radiation is covered through questioning using clear imagery and animations to support pupils. This leads to literacy based task for pupils to compare and contrast different types of radiation and their path through an electric field. The lesson is summarised with review questions on the content covered. USES OF NUCLEAR RADIATION 1) Review the properties of the 3 types of nuclear radiation. 2) Identify that nuclear radiation can be dangerous and useful. 3) Explain in detail one or two applications of nuclear radiation. 4) Apply your knowledge of nuclear radiation to exam questions. Applications explored in detail: geiger-muller counter, x-rays, badges, automatic thickness monitoring, traces, smoke alarms, carbon dating and uranium dating.

GCSE AQA Physics - P7.5 - Radioactivity and Half-life

(0)
New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Radioactivity and Half-life ' written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Starter poses two interesting questions in relation to a continuous doubling effect linking to the mathematics of the lesson and inverse of half-life. A quick recap on isotopes and different types of radiation is provided to keep key concepts in pupils minds. The coin flip (heads or tails) activity is detailed to get students to carry out this activity and collect data to plot the results from to show a 'half-life curve'. Following the explanation of random events the pupils are given the task of recording nuclear decays in relation to video shown on youtube. This then allows a direct link to be made to a half-life graph to nuclear decay. This then leads to the review of half-life graph review questions. Learning Objectives for Half-life lesson: 1) Review what is meant by isotope and how this is radioactive. 2) Understand the ‘random’ nature of radioactive decay. 3) State and explain what is meant by ‘half-life’. 4) Determine the half-life of different isotopes using given information. The lesson is summarised with review questions on the content covered.
