This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the P2 1.1 unit on ‘Electricity & Magnetism’. The lesson begins with a question for pupils to ‘Think > Pair > Share’ their ideas about what they already know about magnets. This can be discussed in a group, before feeding back to the classroom. Students will now complete a practical investigation: testing magnetic materials, in groups they will be given a selection of materials and a bar magnet, they will need to determine which materials are magnetic. Once complete, students can check their work against the answers provided. Next, students will investigate what happens when the poles of two bar magnets are brought together. Students will be given a set of combinations to try: N + N, S + N, S + S - attract or repel? Their results can be recorded in a table in their books and then be assessed using the mark scheme once complete. The next part of the lesson focuses on magnetic fields; firstly, students are shown the magnetic field of a bar magnet. They will have a go at drawing their own - they will have a worksheet, on it is lots of of circles surrounding a bar magnet, on each of the circles they will place a compass and then draw the direction the arrow is facing. Once complete, students should link up the arrows to show the direction of the magnetic field, they can stick this worksheet into their books. The last part of the lesson focuses on the magnetic field surrounding Earth, students are shown diagrams to demonstrate this idea and then will assess their knowledge of the subject by getting students to complete a fill-in-the-blanks task. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint presentation. The plenary task requires students to summarise what they have learned this lesson in three sentences.

Then pupils are played a video about the rules regarding electronic configuration, with which they should fill in a worksheet, either completing sentences or answering questions. Once this is finished pupils will self-assess their work. Next, the rules of how many electrons each shell can hold is demonstrate using diagrams, pupils are given examples to further consolidate this information. Next, pupils are given a table with different elements listed, they will need to identify the mass number, atomic number, draw and write out the electronic configuration for each element. This can be assessed once it has been completed. The next task is an extension of what has just been completed, pupils are given a worksheet where they need to fill in the electron shells for the first 20 elements as well as write out the electronic configuration. Again, pupils will be provided with the answers to mark this work. The final two activities focuses on the importance of how many electrons are in the outer shell of an atom of an element and what this means for the reactivity of this element.

For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA A-level Biology course please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience A-Level lesson format: I teach in more of a lecture style compared to GCSE. In the majority of my A-level lessons the beginning portion of the lesson is mainly teacher-led, where students are expected to take notes onto a handout/in their books. This is then mixed in with student-led activities, as well as questions and exam prep. You will find some of my slides have blank spaces for you to add more detail/descriptions/explanations. If you look at the ‘Notes’ section underneath each of these slides, you will find additional content which you can add in as you teach! This lesson on Osmosis begins with a discussion to review diffusion and osmosis, students should think about what they remember from GCSE. After defining osmosis and water potential, students will watch a short video and answer worksheet questions. Answers are available on the next slide for self-assessment. To test the students’ knowledge, they will then practice identifying direction of movement from water potential of two plant cells. They can use mini whiteboards to pick a movement direction, or lack thereof! To further the lesson on water potential, students will consider isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions. They will then practice matching these terms to their definitions before completing a worksheet to demonstrate how these conditions affect red blood cells. Answers for self-assessment are on the next slide. This information is synthesised by a quick discussion of osmosis in onion cells. Then, using their whiteboards to test their understanding of water potential, students will identify what is happening to cells in a series of pictures. Students will then practise by working through a few exam-style questions and self-assessing to the answers provided in the slides. As a plenary the students should write three sentences summarising what they have learned in this lesson. All resources are included.

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 first activity of this lesson requires pupils to sort cards of information regarding particle arrangement, movement of particles and closeness of particles, into either solids/liquids/gases. Students will then need to copy and complete the table of information, this task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme within the PowerPoint presentation. Next, students are introduced to the kinetic theory of matter which applied to solids, liquids and gases. Pupils are given some information on the way particles in these three states of matter behave in relation to each other, particularly the speed/direction particles move in. Students will now need to watch a video on states of matter and will need to answer a set of questions, once this task is complete students can use the mark scheme provided to either self or peer assess their work. Using information from the video students will complete a diagram to show the transitions between different states of matter, students will need to match the correct process to the correct label on the diagram. Students can then mark their work using the answers provided. Lastly, students are introduced (or reminded of) the law of the conservation of mass and how this applies to changes of states of matter, before then completing a ‘Quick Check’ task which requires students to answer a set of questions based upon what they have learned this lesson. Again, the mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint so students can assess and correct their own work.

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 This lesson begins with a recap on the definition for different changes of state - melting, freezing & boiling. Students are then introduced to the idea of ‘impurities’ which can affect the melting/boiling point of a pure substance, i.e. addition of salt to a pan of water you want to boil. Next, students are shown a graph which shows how the temperature of a substance changes over time, as it is heated. Students will need to sketch the graph into their books, then using the labels provided they can annotate the graph to describe what is happening to the particles of the substance as it changes from a solid -> liquid -> gas. This task, once complete, can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. Next, students are shown a diagram and given some information which helps to explain the energy changes which are occurring as a substance goes through changes of state from a solid to a gas. Students are then given the opportunity of conducting their own investigation to find the melting point of a solid substance, the results they collect from this investigation can be plotted onto a graph. The last two tasks are aimed at assessing students knowledge of what they have learned so far this lesson, firstly pupils will be given some date - from which they will need to plot a graph and answer some questions. This work can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. Lastly, students are asked to complete an ‘Exam-style’ question which students can then either peer or self assess using the mark scheme provided. The plenary activity is a ‘Pick a Plenary’ - students will either summarise what they have learned during the lesson in 3 sentences or they will need to write definitions for a list of key words.
