Starter: match up the key words to the defintions
Main: discuss key words and then think pair share, how do we go from a single cell to an embryo to who we are today
Research mitosis, move around the room and find out about the steps
Complete literacy question task to reinforce learning for the day
Plenary: go through answers to the worksheet and tweet the most important thing they have learnt today
B2.3 stem cells
aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class - worksheet from tes
Starter
What is a stem cell. Turn the picture into words – looking for key words, undifferentiated, differentiated
Main –
Watch a video, explaining what stem cells are and what they can be used for
Research task, differentiated criteria to find out about stem cells use p.30-31 in kerboodle text books, ipads
extension: worksheet with questions
Plenary
Peer assess each others work, which level do they think their partner has achieved, using the success criteria
B2.2 Growth and division
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Could do the practical - but where it falls with teaching my class this im unable to, task to use the method instead
Starter: Students discuss how cells change through the life time of a human
Go through what happens at each stage in life, students then write their own description in their books of what happens at each stage
Stretch: if cells are repaired and replaced and there are stem cells how are people paralysed
Main –
Discuss how plants grow – key words on the board, from discussion get students to write their own definitons for these words, green pen their answers
Turn method for how to clone cauliflower into a storyboard – alternatively you can carry out the practical.
Extension questions if students finish task
Plenary
Explain why a starfish is more like a plant than an animal in terms of its ability to regrow limbs
C1.1 atoms
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class. Some worksheet from other areas on TES
Starter
Stick in objective sheets for this topic, also stick in common formulae sheets
6 true or false questions – green pen mark
Main –
Think, pair, share – what is an atom? Share ideas, write a sentence to explain what an atoms is. Extension task to label an atoms (level 6 objective) but there is a lesson on the structure of the atom later in this topic
Copy definitions for element/compound/mixture onto worksheet. Then cut up pictures and decide if they are a compound element of mixture
Extension: find the element to spell the cartoon characters worksheet
Identify atoms/elements and name formula worksheet - green pen mark
Extension: write the name of the formulae
Plenary
Whiteboards out, write down the symbol for the elements I shout
C1.2 Chemical equations
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Worksheets are from TES
Starter Activity
Answer starter questions
Main –
Go through state symbols, make a note of what each means
Explain the conservation of mass – need to write down the defintions
Stretch: why do some reactions appear to gain/lose mass
Go through steps on how to balance equations. Supporting worksheets to build up. Make sure there is an emphasis on what the ‘big’ and ‘little’ numbers mean. Do examples at each step, then get students to complete the rest
Extension sheet of harder equations to balance for students flying through
Plenary
Plenary – make rules for balancing equations
C1.2 Separating mixtures
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
starter:
Differentiated starter task from previous learning. Bronze = level 4 silver – level 6 gold = level 8 (to be gaining a level 8 answer needs to be really detailed) students have done this at KS3
Go through and green pen answers
Main
Talk about safety for the practical, demo practical with distillation to get pure water
Students carry out rock salt practical to get salt
Answer questions when done, extension question available also
Plenary
5 mins
Identify the three processes we have learnt about today
Homework - differentiated
Summary sheet on separation techniques
C1.4 fractional distillation and paper chromatography
aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Starter Activity
Match key words to definitions – go through answers
Main –
Students watch demo of fractional distillation. Explain uses/whats happening at each point. Students the write an explaination of how they can obtain pure ethanol
Set up chromatography experiment, whilst waiting for it to develop write a step by step method for the practical. Go over basics, this will be revisited as chromatography is a required practical.
Plenary
Tweet one thing they have learnt today
C1.7 Ions, atoms and isotopes
aimed at mixed ability year 9 class
Starter Activity
Differentiated Bronze/silver/gold questions from previous lesson
Main –
Think, pair, share – how big is an atom. Copy down the size of an atom and nucleus intho their books
Copy key words need to be able to define ion and isoptope for level 4
Explain that atoms can lose or gain electrons. And what happens if they do. Students make notes on this, then go through a few examples.
Students practice working out electron/proton/neutron for ions
Extension task for students who finish
Explain what an isotope is, do one worked example of finding proton/neutron numbers then their go at finding how many protons and neutrons are in carbon isotopes
Exam practice if time
Plenary
Identify whether the pictures are atoms, ions or isotopes
C1.1 History of the atom
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Starter Activity
Draw and label the atom – discuss that its changed over time
Main –
Watch video of history of the atom – try and list the scientists and their discoveries
Use textbooks or ipads to research the history of the atom and fill in the timeline. Differentiated version, blank version for HA students and LA version with question prompts
Extension fill in the gaps sheet
Plenary
Draw the current atom from memory and label it
C1. 8 electronic structures
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Starter Activity
Exam question starter – go through and green pen
Main –
Recap where to find the number of electrons an atom has, go through electronic structure rules. Do a few examples on the board
Two worksheets – first worksheet students need to find out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons each element has, the second they need to draw the electronic structures
Extension: explain why sodium and lithium might react in a similar way
Write a step by step guide for somebody to explain how you draw electronic structures
