New GCSE Chemistry lesson on Covalent bonding Lesson starts with simple starter looking at different ways things are bonded together which allows discussion of hoe bonds vary in strength. Following a quick review goes over key content on ionic bonding. The need for atoms to become chemically stable by gaining a full outer shell of electrons is introduced with illustrations of this. Different types of bonding are contrasted with picture representations to allow for comparisons to be made. Covalent bonding is introduced by breaking down an explaining the words with key definitions behind these. Atoms numbers are reviewed and linked to electrons in outer shell. Chlorine is provided as an example of dot and cross diagram for covalent boding. Properties of covalent bonds are also reviewed. Students are prompted to draw dot and cross diagrams for a variety of key substances. Lesson Objectives: 1) Describe how covalent bonds are formed. 2) Recognise covalent compounds from their formula, name or bonding diagram. 3) Draw dot and cross diagrams/ball and stick diagrams for familiar molecules. 4) Suggest how properties vary for double covalent bonds and single covalent bonds.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Melting and Boiling points of substances (changes in states)' written in line with new AQA Physics specification Lesson Outline: Starter uses 5 quick question to recap some prior content question some key concepts for the lesson. Pure substances are discussed using a visual game to recognise if a pure substance is being shown or not - leading to a key definition. Melting and boiling points are then highlighted and linked back to the previous changes of states illustration. Impurities in substances are then discussed to show the importance of pure substances in melting and boiling points. An experiment to acquire data on melting and boiling points of water is outlined which lead to plotting a change of state graph. An ideal change of state diagram then allows the teacher to discuss with the class trends and key points along the graph. Lesson Objectives: - Identify pure substances and mixtures. - Explain what is meant by melting point and boiling point of a substance.- - Compare and contrast boiling and evaporation. - Detail changes in state of substance using a graph.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on ‘Pressure and Temperature’ written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Lesson Objectives: - Recall how scientific theory and evidence work together. - Explain how the observation of ‘Brownian motion’ provides evidence for kinetic theory. - Relate the effects of changing temperature of a gas to pressure. - Use knowledge of the relationship of pressure and temperature to different scenarios.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on Energy resources and environment + Supply and Demand written in line with new AQA Physics specification. All questions provided with answers within power point. Lesson Objectives: Describe the environmental impact arising from the use of different energy resources Identify why some energy resources are more reliable than others Explain patterns and trends in the use of energy resources Consider the environmental issues that may arise from the use of different energy resources Discuss environmental issues arising from the use of energy resources in relation to political, social, ethical and economic aspects.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Atoms and Radiation' written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Lesson provides a basic introduction to the unit of Nuclear Radiation, ideal for introduction and low ability groups. Starter prompts pupils to write or draw what they know about nuclear radiation onto a post-it note, this can then be reviewed by the teacher to start a discussion on misconceptions and highlighting good knowledge. A brief background on the discovery of radiation is given in relation to Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie. A simple explanation of nuclear radiation is given with some review of the nucleus and ionising radiation. Detection of radiation is highlight with a Geiger-muller tube and counter. The three types of nuclear radiations are stated and the nature of random nuclear decay is highlighted. The lesson concludes with a fun true or false about nuclear radiation with some videos to offer further explanation where appropriate. A summary worksheet is provided. Lesson Objectives: - Explain what a radioactive substance is & what makes a substance radioactive. - Explain how radioactivity can be detected. - Recall the different types of radiation that is emitted from a radioactive substance. - Explain what is meant by ‘nuclear decay’.

A 5 MINUTE SEATING PLANNER in excel which also displays the pupil data. Watch demo on youtube to see planner and how to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e4HN80mdbg You are able to import data from another excel spreadsheet to use as data to include in your seating plan. Coloured cells are automatically populated with pupil names and the data which you wish to display. The coloured cells can be moved to create the plan of the room and therefore the seating plan. Data fields can be filtered help produce seating plans based input variables (for example, filtered by target grade). Cells used a colour scale which can be set to the data you wish to use, for example above, at or below class average grade. This creates a teacher seating plan (data) view and a class (just names) seating plan view .
