KS3 Energy and conservation of energy - complete lesson, ready to use, pick up and go.
This KS3 lesson teaches energy stores in the new way required for GCSE 9-1 spec - so it builds the correct foundation for KS4. This supports good student progress and avoids confusing them by teaching them the old ideas about energy at KS3 (e.g. light is an energy store, sound is energy etc) and then the new ones at GCSE (9-1 specification).
By the end of the lesson learners will
(ALL) Understand what energy is.
(ALL) Know the unit of energy.
(ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements)
(MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them.
(MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another
(SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy.
What do you get?
Complete and ready to use lesson that includes:
Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS.
Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS.
Two carefully chosen videos
Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc.
Helpsheet
Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians)
Why buy this?
Very high quality (over 15 hours to create).
Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results.
Tried and tested (taught to my classes in 2017 and again in 2018).
Differentiated.
Complete and ready to deliver.
Easy to use
Simple and clear.
Engaging and varied.
Unique.
Correct to the new 9-1 GCSE spec. Beware! Most KS3 lessons on tes are not correct, they are contradicting the new 9-1 GCSE spec.

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!

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. Bundles – contain 3 or more of these lessons at a discounted price (however please note not all my series are bundled).
1. Vectors and scalars.
2. Forces between objects (contact / non-contact and Newton’s 3rd law).
3. Forces and Newton’s third law (N3L).
4. Resultant forces, free body diagrams.
5. Forces and acceleration F=Ma
6 to 12 - please see list in this powerpoint

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 :)

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).

Lesson 3 in a series of 5.
Happy teaching,
Barclayfox.
Energy stores and pathways (new GCSE 9-1). High quality, differentiated and complete lesson.
Outcomes as below.
Differentiated.
Complete and ready to deliver.
Easy to use
Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results.
Simple and clear.
Engaging and varied.
Unique.
Correct to the new 9-1 GCSE spec (Beware! Many lessons on tes are not correct as they are the old specification and this includes some that claim to be 9-1).
OUTCOMES
I can:
ALL: Understand and recall the 8 energy stores and 4 pathways.
ALL: Understand that energy is not created or destroyed, only transferred.
MOST: During a practical apply stores and pathways to describe energy transfers.
SOME: Create energy transfer diagrams.
Please do NOT buy this if you bought my other complete lesson on energy stores and transfers.
Your feedback would be appreciated :)
Happy teaching!
