flushflopflushflop

GCSE Science / Physics - Uses of Radiation (PowerPoint, Worksheet and Lesson Plan)

(2)
This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explain the uses of radiation, dosage to patients and two examples of non-medical uses. This is the eleventh lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the selection criteria for isotopes and uses Technetium as an example, enables consideration for balancing and weighing risks to patients and includes data of common treatments. A one page worksheet has been included as a short activity to enable pupils to graph the data and think about the risks of therapy. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching, a PowerPoint to support the lesson and a worksheet to aid in delivery / test understanding. There are also ideas for homework tasks and differentiation tasks that can be used by a teacher to develop the lesson further.

flushflopflushflop

iGCSE Physics - Evolution of the Universe (PowerPoint & Worksheet)

(0)
This lesson covers the Evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang through all of its major stages, including particle creation, primordial fusion and the development of galaxies. There is a worksheet of questions and answers included in this lesson. Please note that the theory of the Big Bang and the evidence for it is covered in the next lesson of this series. This is the fifth (of 6) lessons in this section entitled “Astrophysics” which is available as a bundle in our shop.

flushflopflushflop

iGCSE Physics - Work Done (PowerPoint)

(0)
iGCSE Physics PowerPoint that covers the topic of Work Done. This 14 page powerpoint explains how frictional forces, including air resistance, needs to be overcome to keep an object moving. This is investigated with two practicals (one looking at surfaces and the second similar / extension practical looking at the effect of changing the weight of the object on friction). Graphing skills with extrapolation are also highlighted. This is the fourth of 6 topics in this units of work and is aimed at covering approximately 2-3 hours of teaching, including the experiments.
