Learning Objectives ✤ Describe briefly the uses if limestone and how it is quarried. ✤ Consider and evaluate the environmental, social and economic effects of exploiting limestone and producing building materials from it. ✤ Evaluate the developments in using limestone, cement and concrete as building materials, and their advantages and disadvantages over other materials. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: Limestone cycle folder Main 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehBKETtRImk How does cement work? AFL: Homework Take a look at this article: Worlds largest Open pit Mines (Quarrys) To add extra wow factor I found them on google maps for you: • The biggest iron mine • The deepest mine • The deadliest mine Your task after this lesson will be to prepare yourself for a debate on Quarrying - Is it good or bad? The best pupils will research both sides, and this article will give you great perspective. For example Hibbing Minnesota would not exist at all without the local mine as it provides all the jobs and income for the area. There are lots of positive and negative arguments in the text of the article. You may also want to research easier to read websites such as BBC Bitesize.

Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Demonstration of sedimentary rock sandwich and metamorphic toastie You can do the transportation pipe demo but it isn't very good. Practical: Main 1: Main 2: EITHER: Pupils descibe the sandwich model and explain how it is different. We could compare each others answers to see wether we have learned this OR: Pupils undertake construction company exercise 15 minutes and 5 minutes of discussion at the end. Need to address issues with the vocabulary, many misconceptions come from geography. about weathering and erosion. AFL: Homework Metamorphic rocks worksheet

Learning Objectives ✤ To plan an investigation into the effect of volume of air on the time it takes for a candle to go out. ✤ To carry out an investigation Settler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwU3YL_SD70 Starter: Use common mistakes ppt. Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: This is the levelled task for this topic. We will be used to level along UK national curriculum levels you ability to carry out an investigation. The assessment is looking mostly for your ability to make links between the topics and explain both verbally and using diagrams. The levels available will range from a 3c (lowest) to a 7a (highest). If pupils have already achieved a 7c or above in the previous levelled practical they will be given the opportunity to use the GCSE criteria, these have much more criteria to be completed but will allow pupils to achieve grades rating from a FAIL to an A*.

Learning Objectives ✤ Understand that liquids can be separated by distillation according to their boiling points. ✤ Describe the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air by fractional distillation Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Can show the oxygen in the jar demo with the water rising then ask the kids to explain why this demo does not show that the air is 20% oxygen as they are often taught but is due to pressure differences instead. Practical: Main 1: Use ppt. Main 2: AFL: Most pupils will struggle with the concept but can be used as an introduction to year 10 - use questions from year 10 textbook to assess. Homework
