This is the first lesson from Topic 1: Energy. It looks at energy stores.
Starter: Quick Discussion about energy stores using a Playground picture as a stimulous.
Title, keywords and L.O for students are on the second slide
Task 1: Students are using statements and keywords on the next slide to fill in the table
Task 2: Quick ‘identifying the energy stores’ activity - Self assessment and discussion
Task 3: Nando’s spice level activity for plenary
This is the second lesson in the Energy topic: It’s Lesson 2 - Energy transfers.
Starter: Remembering what we did last time - students can look at the picture and try and remember the names of as many energy stores as possible
Main: Light saber demonstration. Students get to think about energy changes, energy input and energy output.
Circus activity: Students will move around different stations. They will look at a system (eg a torch, tennis ball falling etc) and will complete a table with the energy input and energy output for each system.
They will then self assess this using the slide on the board.
Then, the teacher can give an example of an energy change and identify with the students the useful and wasted energy output.
Students will then go back to their table and use a green pencil to circle the useful energy transfer and a red pen to circle the wasted one.
Plenary: Students will write their own example of an everyday life process on the piece of the card.
Then give it to the person sitting next to them and ask them to identify the energy transfer/change in their example.
This lesson includes:
-Starter slide, with a recall question on last lesson (Kinetic Energy)
-Looking at two objects at different heights comparing their GPE -initial ideas about GPE
-Title and Success criterial/Learning Objectives for the lesson
-GPE definition and Equation
-GPE equation practice questions
-Practical Task: Investigating the rebounce height of different balls
-Write a conclusion based on the practical task
Thanks for looking :)
The lesson consists of the following:
-Starter slide for students to discuss about the energy stores and energy transfers that they covered in the last lessons.
Main body: Kinetic energy introductions, factors that affect kinetic energy (mass and speed), equation and symbol equation.
Practical with toy cars and ramps
Writing and assessing conclusions
-Plenary: Spice level questions for the students to practice the kinetic energy equation
Lemon and herb: Use of the equation
Medium: Use of the equation and conversion to the correct SI units
Hot: Rearrange of the equation to find mass or speed.
