This is a complete lesson covering sections 6.4.1 d, e, f, g and h of the OCR Physics specification- the decay equation and half-life. It starts by introducing the decay equation with worked examples before outlining how dice simulation can be used to model nuclear decay. The lesson then moves to looking at activity as an alternative expression for the decay equation. Half-lives are then covered including how to calculate it and how to work it out form a graph. The lesson closes by looking at how age can be assessed using C-14 dating. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

A full lesson revising content from the AQA Biology module- bioenergetics. This lesson covers photosynthesis and is suitable for both trilogy and the Biology science GCSE. The lesson starts by revising the reactants for photosynthesis and the equation along with the uses of glucose. It then has a quick summary activity before looking at leaf structure. The lesson then moves on to limiting factors with a series of data based activities. In between this the lesson looks at the required practical and covers the method as well as some extension questions. The lesson closes by looking at photosynthesis in ecosystems by considering the carbon cycle (from B7) but also the role played by photosynthesis in determining which plants can grow in differetn areas.
