This is a complete lesson covering sections 6.4.1 d, e, f, g and h of the OCR Physics specification- the decay equation and half-life. It starts by introducing the decay equation with worked examples before outlining how dice simulation can be used to model nuclear decay. The lesson then moves to looking at activity as an alternative expression for the decay equation. Half-lives are then covered including how to calculate it and how to work it out form a graph. The lesson closes by looking at how age can be assessed using C-14 dating. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

A complete revision lesson covering the digestion section of AQA module B2- organisation. It also covers the two RPAs (enzymes and food tests) that occur in this topic. The lesson opens with the food tests RPA followed by looking at the components of a balanced diet along with the role of each nutrient in the body. The lesson then moves to look at the digestive system, its components and their individual role. It then looks at the stomach as an example of an organ with its tissues and their functions. The lesson the moves onto enzyme action and the enzymes of the human digestive system. It then covers the enzymes RPA before finishing with a series of exam questions. Includes retrieval type activities All answers are provided and no printing is required Update 11/05/22- sudan III test for fats added Update 08/05/23- changes to reflect return to normal exam arrangements
