KS3 Energy and conservation of energy - complete lesson, ready to use, pick up and go. This KS3 lesson teaches energy stores in the new way required for GCSE 9-1 spec - so it builds the correct foundation for KS4. This supports good student progress and avoids confusing them by teaching them the old ideas about energy at KS3 (e.g. light is an energy store, sound is energy etc) and then the new ones at GCSE (9-1 specification). By the end of the lesson learners will (ALL) Understand what energy is. (ALL) Know the unit of energy. (ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements) (MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them. (MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another (SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy. What do you get? Complete and ready to use lesson that includes: Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS. Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS. Two carefully chosen videos Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc. Helpsheet Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians) Why buy this?

Sort standards of behaviour. Improve your experience of the first ever lesson with a class. Improve your learners experience of their first ever lesson with you. The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. This is a truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years. During the lesson you will: * Sort out the seating plan. * Learn students names. * Introduce yourself to the students. * Start to discover which students will (e.g. follow instructions, write, spell correctly) and which are reticent/less skilled. * Set and agree class rules. * Rewards - find out which rewards the learners care enough about to try and get. * Set expectations of behaviour * Ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher. * Help learners understand why work ethic is so important. * Learn about individual learners needs. * Learn about their individual likes (important in building relationships) * Learn about their individual dislikes (important in building relationships) * Start to build those critical relationships. * Start to coach / motivate the students about learning. This is an excellent lesson - I use it repeatedly with every new class from KS3 to KS5. Whether you are a new teach or a very experienced one this is a small investment for a great lesson to improve your experience and outcomes when you meet every class for the very first time. Use it over and over again during the first week of school - excellent value. Happy teaching !

Updated and improved on 29th November 2016 and then again on 22nd August 2017. A complete, and ready to deliver, high quality KS4 / GCSE lesson from Barclayfox. This is a complete lesson from start to end, you do not need to spend many hours carefully planning, creating, resourcing and improving this lesson after each use. I have already spent those hours preparing this lesson for my students and improving it over many years. There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it. Lesson objectives: * Explain how “ions” are formed. * Understand the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. * Compare alpha, beta and gamma in terms of their abilities to penetrate and ionise. The lesson contains: Notes to help the teacher. Starter task - unscramble the words race. Recall Quiz questions with answers. Card Sort activity - with answers. Definitions (scientific literacy) activity. Questions throughout – all answers are provided. Theory slides (minimal and interactive – not ‘death by powerpoint’). Gap fills. Group work - excellent Kinaesthetic activity with questioning – to cement learning and provide some fun. Video clip link (carefully selected – this alone can save you a lot of time). Gap fill activity (table of properties) – all answers are provided Plenary activity / quiz Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt. Homework. Equipment list - to give to your technicians. As teachers we all work ridiculously long hours each week.

A complete, and ready to deliver KS4 lesson There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it. Objectives / students learn to: * Describe what is happening during the fission of uranium-235. * Describe U-235’s fission products. * Explain how a chain reaction works. * Understand how a chain reaction can be controlled. * Understand the different roles of control rods and moderators * Understand the difference between fission and fusion. This lesson majors on fission and chain reactions and their control (and briefly mentions fusion) and it contains the following activities: Starter - picture puzzle to get the students thinking. Starter (more) - game / quiz. SPaG / literacy based on fission. Video links (very carefully chosen and 3 in total). Differentiated work sheets - 3 different levels of difficulty. Gap fills.
