This lessons focus is on Internal Energy, Changes of State, and Specific Latent Heat (particle model of matter unit ) for AQA GCSE Physics (paper 1).

These lessons are an effective and balanced mixture of teacher-led explanation, student AFL, student exam questions and pair discussions. The lesson includes key term list and low stakes worksheets to build confidence.

These lessons are all visual lessons which support all learners to access the curriculum, pushing students as well as scaffolding where appropriate. The lesson has been used for MPA students but is scaffolded effectively for LPAs and has challenge and extension activites for HPAs.

The lesson follows AQA GCSE Physics specification (P1 - particle model of matter) with GCSE Exam questions as assessment for learning throughout, as well as a number of other fun and engaging activities to support learner agency and exam paper accessibility.
