This is a lesson and PowerPoint explaining the effect on atomic number and mass number when elements undergo alpha and beta decay. This is the seventh lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the use of nuclear formulae in explaining the changes in the elements as they decay. There is a lesson plan with notes on teaching, a PowerPoint to support the lesson and ideas for extending the lesson for more able students.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining half-life of isotopes. This is the eighth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson explains the random nature of radioactive decay, the use of mathematical and graphical procedures to calculate and use half-life and has example graphs to show how to do this. There is also an experiment idea and a results table that can be exported to a spreadsheet for analysis. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching, a PowerPoint to support the lesson and three examples with answers to test pupil understanding.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint introducing the Structure of an Atom. This is the first lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the sizes of atoms, nuclei and the idea that mass is found primarily in the nucleus. There is an idea for a demonstration to calculate the upper limit on the size of an atom. Electron energy level changes due to absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation is also discussed

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint Explaining the cosmological red shift and how this was used by Edwin Hubble to theorise about the expanding universe and the Theory of the Big Bang. There is a brief worksheet (ideal for a homework task) and a marked version to assist the non-specialist teacher. This is the fifth lesson in the Space unit of work (P8). Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint introducing alpha, beta and gamma radiation. This is the fifth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the diagrams and make up of the four main radiation types (including neutron radiation). There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint to support the lesson.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining how an electric loudspeaker works. This is the fifth lesson in the Electromagnetism unit of work (P7). The lesson recaps sound, longitudinal waves, frequency and amplitude and then applies them to a moving coil speaker, building on the knowledge of the motor force and solenoids from the previous lessons in the chapter. There are two PowerPoints either with or without the short 5 second video clip of the practical so that the 26MB download is optional. Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint explaining background radiation and its sources. This is the tenth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the main reasons for background radiation and then links to external web sources for Radon gas causes. 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 through the use of four differentiated activities to choose from.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint discussing radioactive waste, irradiation and contamination. This is the ninth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the following learning objectives from the syllabus documentation: • Radioactive contamination is the unwanted presence of materials containing radioactive atoms on other materials. • Irradiation is the process of exposing an object to nuclear radiation. • The irradiated object does not become radioactive. • Suitable precautions must be taken to protect against any hazard • Understanding that it is important for the findings of studies into the effects of radiation on humans to be published and shared with other scientists so that the findings can be checked by peer review. • Hazards associated with radioactive material differ according to the half-life involved. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint (12 slides).

This is a lesson and PowerPoint recapping Specific Heat Capacity. This is the fifth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3). The lesson links the theories of solids, liquids and gases and the particle model to specific heat capacity. The PowerPoint explains the formula for specific heat capacity and contains a simple table for pupils to test their mathematical skills against. The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers general Doppler effect, Cosmological redshift, the Hubble constant and calculations of distance using red-shift of galaxies. There are also three slides that explain how the Audacity software (Public Domain) can be used to measure the Doppler effect in the classroom. A ZIP file includes a copy of this software. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA Note - Updates April 2017 (Typo in example question)

GCSE Science / Physics - Nuclear Fission (PowerPoint and Lesson Plan) This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining nuclear fission. This is the twelfth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the basic idea of splitting the atomic nucleus from neutron capture and expressing this as a diagram and nuclear equation. Chain reactions, nuclear bombs and nuclear power are also used to discuss fission in context. The good and bad aspects of fission are used to stimulate a discussion with a differentiated task list for pupils to then create work of their own on the topic. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching this topic as well as ideas to assist the teacher in differentiating the lesson and setting homework; a PowerPoint also supports the lesson. Updated March 2017 (Corrected mass numbers on fission diagram)

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that explains magnitude of stars, the link between apparent and absolute magnitude, luminosity, the Hipparcos scale, parallax calculations and the Stephen-Boltzmann formula. This is an 18 page PowerPoint together with detailed lesson plan and experiment idea - enough work to cover two lessons. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA Please see my shop to view all of my lessons and entire schemes of work
