Give yourself a break, spend some life with your wife / husband / children / friends / family by purchasing more lessons created by “Barclayfox” once they appear on TES. Please note: when searching for resources please type barclayfox into the search box/engine and it will show you all our resources. Please purchase this lesson, and leave a positive review. This lesson is part of a series, whilst they all work very well as standalone individual lessons you may wish to buy others from the series: 0. Bundle – contains all lessons (if available, not all my series are bundled) 1. Momentum. 2. Conservation of momentum, collisions, elastic and inelastic. 3. Momentum, impulse, crumple zones and safety. Thank you, and happy teaching! Yours, Barclayfox.

A complete and ready to deliver high quality KS4 / GCSE lesson from Barclayfox. Updated 20th October 2017. This is a complete lesson from start to end. You do not need to spend a huge number of hours carefully planning it and writing differentiated resources, I have already spent those hours creating this great lesson. Furthermore it has been improved time and again after each use - it is tried and tested, you will not find better. There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it. Lesson objectives - I can: *Describe the structure of the atom (Protons, neutrons, electrons: charges, masses and locations). * Explain the history of our model of the atom (billiard ball model, plum pudding model, nuclear model, planetary model, quantum mechanical model). * Describe Rutherford’s experiment which led to the discovery of the nucleus This carefully crafted lesson is over 40 slides long, has differentiated activity sheets (with answers), and is full of learning activities as below: * Simple starter - self assess vs objectives * Matching task - answers are provided. * Differentiated activity sheets - support, medium ability, high ability. * Activity sheet - answers. * Sequencing activity. * Gap fill activity - all answers are provided. * Quiz with answers. * Questions – all answers are provided * Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities, not ‘death by powerpoint’). * Video clip links (carefully selected – this alone can save you 20+ minutes of searching). * Paired work activities – answers are provided. * Homework worksheet * Scientific literacy activities. * Plenary formative / summative assessment quiz / activity. * Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – learners judge for themselves how much they have learnt.

Alpha, Beta and Gamma – ionising radiation. 4. Changes in the nucleus – decay equations 5 to 14 Please read the list in the powerpoint. Happy teaching ! Yours, Barclayfox.

FREE help sheet for teachers or students on energy stores, transfers, carriers, pathways and energy diagrams. This is specifically for the new GCSE 9-1 specification (which can be confusing). ENERGY - THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED: On tes there are many many energy lessons and resources teaching to the old spec. which are no longer applicable if taught today – which is a polite way of saying they are wrong. There are even some resources I’ve looked at that claim to be new spec. 9-1 – but they are wrong too, even BBC Bitesize is getting some aspects a bit confused. Please don’t risk teaching your classes incorrectly ! This resource is a FREE help sheet for science teachers which explains it all. This help sheet is clear and simple and free !

Too many of my students were making mistakes with significant figures and writing answer to the wrong number of sig figs. This skill is more important under the 9-1 spec so I wrote this worksheet with answers to help fix this problem. Happy Teaching Barclayfox

FREE lesson, so you can see the quality of my “Barclayfox” lessons. Ready to deliver high quality KS3 lesson from Barclayfox. This lesson introduces waves by teaching KS3 learners about: Waves, wave types, functions, wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough, longitudinal waves, transverse waves, and superposition etc. Like all my barclayfox lessons this is a complete and ready to use high quality lesson. I have used this lesson and improved it many times with my different classes across ten+ years. There is nothing to do but give it a quick look through it. But, if you (like me!) cannot resist making a change its modular nature makes it very quick and easy to modify it to your exact requirements. No marking for you ! :-) All answers for all activities are included in the PPT to allow peer and/or self-assessment to reduce your workload ! I’ve spent a lot of time on this improving it after lessons spread over 10+ years, I hope you find this FREE lesson useful in your teaching. If you find it useful please encourage me with some positive feedback :-D If you like this lesson there are many more like it in both style and quality my shop, here’s the link: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/barclayfox Thank you for your time, have a great day !
