Resultant force - Lesson 11: Forces and Energy

(0)
The lesson start by looking at the Apollo 8 rocket taking off and introduces the huge unbalanced forces at play. The teacher then lead with a series of images of scuba divers an gives an opportunity to question the class. The lesson builds to start including numbers so the student can calculate the resultant force before the students construct meaning using a simple worksheet on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with a detailed exit ticket.

Forces and Energy Lesson 8 - Magnetism

(0)
The lesson starts with a wordsearch based on previous learning. Via a video and target questioning the history of magnetism is briefly visited. The lesson then moves to a learning through doing practical task involving defining the key words. There is then a selection of questions about magnets with a HOTS purple questing included. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Hooke's Law - Lesson 8 Forces and Energy

Hooke's Law - Lesson 8 Forces and Energy

(0)
This a core concept for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE physics. This lesson is aimed at year 8-9 however could be made course specific. The lessons starts by allowing the student to take ownership of their learning by selecting a title for the lesson. The lesson then moves to let students discover Hooke's law in a structured yet problem based and independent way. The students demonstrate learning with a graph and a short conclusion always driving them to come up with Hooke's Law by themselves. The lesson concludes with a Cloze exit ticket.

Y8- Forces and Energy- Lesson 15 Heat Transfer

(0)
The lesson looks at the 3 methods of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction. This is done via demonstrations and discussion. With a double bubble the students take the ideas of convection and radiation and compare and contrast them before they write a GCSE style 6 mark questions, this is differentiated via a hinge point question. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.
Y8- Forces and Energy- Lesson 14 Energy Efficiency
ScienceMasteryScienceMastery

Y8- Forces and Energy- Lesson 14 Energy Efficiency

(0)
The lesson is aimed at year 8-9 and focuses on efficiency . The lesson encourages the student to work out the efficiency calculation on their own before testing their understanding, the student then complete different tasks (high quality differentiation) to best suit their ability. the lesson finishes with an exam questions and exit ticket.
Year 8 Mastery- Waves and Electricity- Lesson 1. Transverse waves
ScienceMasteryScienceMastery

Year 8 Mastery- Waves and Electricity- Lesson 1. Transverse waves

(0)
Mastery Scheme of Work: Waves and Electricity- lesson 1 The lesson focuses on a simple wave model, the students build a wave machine to illicit ideas about wave movement. This is followed by a hinge question which differentiated the out come and allows students to formulate their own ideas at an appropriate level for them. The lessons concludes with a demonstrate activity followed by an Exit ticket.
Electricity and Waves - Lesson 5 Frequency

Electricity and Waves - Lesson 5 Frequency

(0)
This lesson is intended for KS3 to give a basic understanding to key Edexcel 2016 GCSE. The lesson starts by reviewing the previous exit ticket (this can easily be changed). A signal generator is needed to demonstrate what pitch/ frequency and volume sound like, this is an ideal opportunity to get students standing around a desk and push the conversation and questions. The main part of the lesson is a SOLO Taxonomy task (not labelled as SOLO but progressive in difficulty). Students show their progress by putting their name on a post-it note and moving it along the the task progress line, this shows the teacher which student to target and demonstrates outstanding differentiation. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Forces and Energy: Lesson 3 Speed, Distance, Time.

(0)
Lesson 3 SDT is designed for all abilities in year 8. The lesson has GCSE focused questions to ensure that the long term goals of the students are established. The lesson caters for all abilities by utilising micro teaching and hinge-point questions, the use of HPQ directs learning depending on the understanding at vital point at the lesson; this determines whether the student attempts gold, silver, bronze tasks. There is a purple extension task to push the high on entry students. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Forces and Energy - Lesson 5 - Distance Time graphs

Forces and Energy - Lesson 5 - Distance Time graphs

(0)
The lesson start by establishing what the student know already about distance time graph. The lesson then moves onto modelling how to calculate speed from several examples on the graph. As an AFL opportunity there is an inbuilt hinge point question, diagnostic of understanding. The outcome of the HPQ directs student to a gold, silver or bronze task all based on the same graph. The students demonstrate their knowledge by drawing their own graph with an extension task if needed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Forces and Energy Lesson 7 - Weight, mass and gravity
ScienceMasteryScienceMastery

Forces and Energy Lesson 7 - Weight, mass and gravity

(0)
The lesson starts with a series of questions to illicit prior understanding of the students. There is then an explanation of gravity and the calculations extensively modelled. After that the students get an opportunity to select from a series of tasks and opt to work, this is outcome differentiated via gold, silver, bronze tasks. The students then complete a hinge point question (AFL) that directs them to 1 of 3 differentiated tasks, there is a purple (high order thinking) task available for the students to move onto once their tasks are completed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket and a rag of LO.

Forces and Energy - Lesson 4 - speed, distance, time. Applied

(0)
The lesson start with a puzzle of lateral thinking for the students. It then goes on to model more complex SDT problems than lesson 3 involving unit conversions. As the students start to understand they move on to the bronze, silver, gold, purple activities with in the 20 minutes. The learning is then demonstrated by calculating their own Speed before the lesson concludes with a true or false exit ticket.
Outstanding Lesson: Speed, distance, time (High quality AFL and differentiation)
ScienceMasteryScienceMastery

Outstanding Lesson: Speed, distance, time (High quality AFL and differentiation)

(0)
The lesson starts with a simple assessment of students understanding of the concept of speed. The lesson then poses a GCSE question to challenge students before two different opportunities for the teacher to model how to calculate SDT. To assess the students learning I have embedded a hinge point question, this will redirect learning to the most appropriate task, e.g. gold, silver, bronze or the Purple extension. The lesson gives the student the opportunity to show of their new learning with a GCSE question before the lesson is concluded with an exit ticket.

Energy identification: lesson 13 - forces and energy

(0)
The lesson starts by assessing baseline knowledge by reviewing the meaning of energy. There is then a card sort which involves associating the energy with pictures to act as a memory prompt. There is a short video to push the students to identify forces and reviewing their knowledge. The lesson has an AFL task embedded in it to direct learning, this leads to 3 different task, two on the attached KO and one Cloze activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Combined Science Edexcel 9-1: mock exam interactive revision schedule

(7)
Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy. QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise. This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam. Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.
