I aim to create detailed lessons for KS3 and KS4 science lessons, simplifying content for both teachers and pupils. My lessons include a lot of pupil-centred tasks and modelling activities where appropriate to engage pupils in their learning. As an AQA examiner for the new GCSE trilogy and triple science course I include a lot of 'past paper' style questions in my lessons that match the type of questions students will be asked in examinations.

New AQA GCSE 2016 9-1 Chemistry - structure of the atom and history of the atomic model

(0)
A lesson/ series of lessons looking at atoms, elements,compounds, mixtures, the structure of the atom and the history of the atomic model. Lots of content that could easily cover 3 lessons. A variety of interactive tasks, included,such as: -Using sweets to model atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures -A link to a clip from an american sitcom providing a simple, student-friendly analogy for the structure of the atom -Assessment opportunities using whiteboards -Visualisation opportunities using props to aid the teaching of developments in the atomic model - props are easily available/ easy to create with instructions on how to relate each prop to the model of the atom it is demonstrating in the notes section of the powerpoint. The use of these props really helped my students to understand the plum pudding model, Dalton's atomic theory and Rutherford's gold foil experiment. -A past paper question comparing the current nuclear model to the plum pudding model -A homework sheet/ worksheet with answers animated at the end of the powerpoint
