A full lesson based on the activate 1 (P2.5) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers echoes, distance and choes, reducing echoes, ultrasound and its uses. A simple DART activity is used for early AFL. Students then take part in a literacy exercise to consolidate and expand on the content of the lesson. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.

This lesson is based on the Activate 2 (P2.2) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers the law of conservation of energy, different energy stores, energy transfer and dissipation. Learning is assessed at 3 stages using think pair and share, an energy store match up, and a 4 mark question to answer. Students are scaffolded up to each task, and answers are included to allow self/peer assessment. The practical activity involves 6 small experiments that the students must visit, observe energy transfers and explain their observations within a table. Extension questions are included for those who finish early, again the answers are included within the slides. The plenary involves students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.

A full lesson with everything you need for stored energies. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Makes use of the ‘triangle’ method to simplify equations, uses timers to promote pace and has PowerPoint animations to support Q/A during peer/self correction of answers.

A complete lesson for parallel circuits tailored towards AQA but can be used for any SOW. Animations are used to support Q/A during correction of answers and timers are included to promote pace. Includes theory, learning checkpoint, practical activity, example questions with learning checkpoint and plenary. Just add voltmeters, bulbs, ammeters and power packs from the tech’s and you have all you need for the lesson.

A complete lesson for the topic of alternating current, based on AQA P5.1 but can be used for other schemes of work. The lesson is differentiated with stretch activities for more able and support sheets for less able. A practical exercise is included where students use oscilloscopes to investigate a.c. currents. The lesson includes timers to promote pace and power-point animations to facilitate Q/A during the review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary is based on students reflection against the learning objectives.

A complete, differentiated lesson based on the Activate 2 (P2.5 ) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson covers the key aspects of infrared radiation, thermal imaging and the use of foil blankets etc. Student understanding is checked with a differentiated question grid challenge (answers included) prior to a simple practical. For the practical hot water bottles with different covers, different coloured cups ice or heat packs can be used. Students will use a thermometer to record the temperature of each object and then judge how much infrared radiation is given off using the back of their hands. An alternative simple prac is included where students monitor the temperature of black and silver cans containing hot water. This is followed by 'stretch questions' associated with the practical and a plenary designed to encourage self reflection within students in regards to their progress against the learning objectives.

A full lesson based on the Activate 2 (P3.1) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson covers the units of speed, how to calculate speed, distance and time. Student understanding is checked with a simple calculation table and answers are peer/self assessed. The lesson then moves onto averages speed vs. instantaneous speed and relative motion. A differentiated question grid challenge is then used to apply learning and facilitate AFL for peer/self marking. The practical activity involves students calculating the speed of a toy car down a ramp, which can be divided into 5 sections to facilitate the calculation of instantaneous speed within each section. The plenary is based on the students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.
