NEW AQA GCSE (2016) Physics - Current-Potential difference Graphs

(2)
This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Physics GCSE, particularly the 'Electricity’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins with an introduction to the term ‘Ohmic conductor’, students are also shown a current-potential difference graph for a wire to demonstrate that in an Ohmic conductor the current is directly proportional to the potential difference. Students will then conduct an investigation into whether the length of a wire will effect the resistance within the wire, students will complete the investigation using the method and once finished should draw a graph of their results and write a conclusion to summarise their findings. This work can be checked against answers provided within the PowerPoint presentation. Next, students are shown a current-potential difference graph for a filament lamp and a diode. Students will be given a graph along with a set of questions to answer about these two graphs, once this task is complete students can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. Students are then shown a diagram of a thermistor and light-dependent resistor and provided with an explanation of what happens to the resistance of these two components when the temperature and light are increased, respectively. The last task is a past-paper exam question, those higher-ability students should try and complete these questions without looking at their notes. Once complete, the work can be either self or peer assessed using the mark scheme provided. The plenary task requires pupils to complete one of the sentence starters to summarise what they have learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.

KS3 ~ Year 7 ~ The Solar System

(0)
This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 P4 ’Space’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The lesson begins with an video on the Solar System, students will watch this and whilst watching should answer a set of questions. Once students have completed this task, they can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. In the next activity, information stations will be placed around the classroom so that students can gather information and use to this to complete a worksheet. They can talk to each other to complete this task, once it is complete the work can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. This task also includes a research project, so if students have completed the work they can use tablets/computer/laptops/phones to complete research on the Cassinni Space Probe. The last task requires students to complete a crossword on the Solar System, using what they will have learned over the last couple of lessons. The plenary task requires students to summarise what they have learned this lesson in three sentences, a list of key words is provided for pupils to use in their sentences. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

KS3 ~ Year 7 ~ The Eye and The Camera

(0)
This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 P3 ’Light’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. This lesson begins with an explanation of how the different parts of the eye work together in order for you to see objects. The functions of different parts of the eye are briefly explained. Students will then need to complete a task to assess their knowledge of this introductory information, this can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. This leads onto another task which looks at the function of different parts of the eye, students will each be given a different piece of information outlining the function of one part of the eye. Students will then need to walk around the room, sharing information with each other to complete a table on the functions of eye parts. This task can be marked using the answers provided. Students will then be shown an image of a pinhole camera, they will need to sketch a copy of it into their book. They are then asked a few questions which looks at the similarities between a pinhole camera and the eye, students should answer these questions in their books and once complete they can mark their work using the answers provided. Students are then provided with some information comparing the structure and function of eyes compared to a digital camera. Students will need to outline one way in which they are similar and one way in which they are different, this task can also be assessed using the answers provided. Lastly, the plenary task requires students to write down three sentences to summarise what they have learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.

NEW GCSE AQA Physics (2016) - Specific Heat Capacity

(4)
This is a lesson aimed at the new Physics specification, it meets specification points within the 'Energy' module. Other lessons from the 'Energy' module can be found in my TES shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins with a word search that pupils can complete to identify key words related to this lesson. Pupils will then watch a video on specific heat capacity where they will need to identify the factors which may affect a materials SHC. Pupils are then introduced to the concept of specific heat capacity and you can work through model questions with students to demonstrate how to approach and answer questions (model questions included on the PowerPoint slides). Pupils then have a go at completing SHC capacity questions on their own, pupils can then self-assess their work. Next activity is a 'Cloze' activity where pupils need to copy and complete sentences, words are provided. Plenary - pupils are provided with a range of answers, they need to write questions which correspond to these answers. All resources are included in the PowerPoint presentation. Enjoy and if you have any feedback please leave a review :)!
