Charles' law

(0)
This lesson is on Charles’ law for KS4. It covers temperature, KE, the Kelvin scale, and absolute zero. Students also learn how to convert between Kelvin and degrees Celsius (centigrade) and vice versa. It then moves on to the relationship between temperature and volume and calculating temperatures and volumes using Charles’ Law. Also covers all the key language. Well organised and succinct with clearly made key points and well chosen images. This lesson explains the material in an easy to understand way. Provides an excellent ready to use lesson on this topic, or it can easily be adapted if you wish. UK KS4 and USA grades 9 to 11 (ages 13 to 16). Happy teaching!

This lesson is 1 in a series of 5 that expertly and fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the “light” topic. I find that this powerpoint and the interesting activities keep lower level students engaged during the lesson while allowing differentiation for higher achievers. I’m sure you’ll find it useful. :-) For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle and discovering what the lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a student lead laser light demonstration as they begin to identify the key properties of light. MAIN The slides then move on to lead the students in comparing light and sound. They will delve a little deeper into this by watching a video, discussing it and answering key questions. MAIN Next, the lesson focuses on numeracy questions based around the speed equation and the speed of light. Once this has been completed they can self assess their work using the answers provided. MAIN Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see the apple? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she can see the apple. MAIN The next activity involves the students grouping objects into luminous or non-luminous. There is differentiation via an activity sheet that can be provided to less able students if required. MAIN Students consider what a shadow is and how it is formed. This leads into a practical where students investigate how the size and position of shadows depends on the position of the light source and the distance to the object that creates the shadow. PLENARY In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz which will uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES These are provided just in case any group requires them. All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the demo and class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc) and if necessary photocopy the activity sheet. Thank you for looking, any feedback would be much appreciated :) Lesson 1 in a series of 5. Happy teaching, Barclayfox.

For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle to find out what today’s lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q&A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN The slides then move on to lead the students into understanding refraction. TTN is introduced as a means of working out whether refraction with bend light towards or away from the normal. Students then undertake an activity and apply TTN to predict the way the light bends at various boundaries between various mediums, they then self-assess using the answers provided. MAIN Next, the lesson focuses on two types of lenses, concave and convex. Diagrams are clear and help get the key points across succinctly and accurately. Students are shown incident rays into a concave lens and then try to predict and draw the ray diagram for the refracted rays. MAIN Students do a class practical with ray boxes and glass blocks to investigate refraction. Students share their results and observations and then undertake a quiz to bring out the key points from the experiment. MAIN Students do a gap fill activity – this can be differentiated by providing or not providing the missing words, they then and self-assess or peer assess using the answers provided. MAIN Refractive index is introduced and students undertake some calculations based around refractive index. This is peer-assessed using the model answers provided. PLENARY Each student self-assesses versus each of the objectives and marks their progress on their progress bars. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years. All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc). Thank you for looking, your feedback is much appreciated! :) Lesson 3 in a series of 5. Happy teaching, Barclayfox.

Please note: This lesson does not cover “uses” as they are covered in the Barclayfox lesson 8 of this topic. This lesson is called “Nuclear radiation uses in medicine”. My lessons cover the whole of this “atomic structure” topic but do not blindly follow the textbook order instead they use a structure that has proved highly successful over many years. Uses in medicine lesson is here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/nuclear-radiation-uses-in-medicine-sterilisation-diagnosis-treatment-tracers-radiotherapy-etc-11703961 This carefully crafted lesson is over 30 slides long, and is full of learning activities some are noted below: * ALL answers are provided throughout! * Starter - recaps previous lessons (with answers). * Paired work activities. * Scientific literacy activity. * Homeworks - 2 - you choose. * Questions. * Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities, not ‘death by powerpoint’). * Video clip link (carefully selected – this alone can save you a lot of searching). * Gap fill activity. * Unscramble the words race. * Plenary quiz. * Student self-assessment versus objectives activity.
