This is originally a file from another contributor, but I've added a few bits to it so I can use it for an introduction to Science lesson at KS3. There are examples for Biology and Physics and it should be usable for both KS3 and 4.
I've put this together to support A2 students in their individual investigations (F336, Salters B). It contains some examples of calculating %U for a standard colorimetry curve together with all of the normal apparatus. I noticed one error today, the abs U on the cylinder is wrong. will amend shortly. I would appreciate feedback, especially if I've misunderstood something. There's hardly anything useful in the literature.
Revision lesson plan, student outcome sheet and teacher tracking sheet to accompany ppt. Uses SOLO taxonomy.
Covering I-V curves for thermistor, diode, ohmic metallic and filament bulb.
Leveled exam questions - including extended question on Diode - resistor combinations in series and parallel (see notes page for explanation)
Lesson 3 of chapter 2 for the NEW 2011 Spec. Follows on from the introduction to the reflex arc when I did a cut and stick relating to shining a light in the eye.
<p>Designed for independent study to be shared with students as a slide show, but could be used as a teaching resource throughout the course.<br />
There are over 100 slides, navigated via an index and hyperlinks which return the student to the index page.<br />
Some material is from (free) resources here on Tes, from OCR PAG’s, where relevant. Some diagrams in the Density practical drawn with Chemix a free online tool.<br />
Each required practical has, in addition to methodology, associated questions with answers. HT and FT indicated. There are also extension questions for the more able.<br />
Any errors and glitches, please let me know.<br />
It’s taken a while to do, but I hope you find it useful.</p>
A short basic ppt going over mean values, percentages and gradients with examples. The gradient of lines in Maths slides are borrowed from another contributor.
Teaching guide with references to Practice in Physics (PIP), A-level Physics for You (PFY) and Nelson Thornes AQA physics A.
Technician booklet for AS and A2 with equipment lists for suggested activities. Some of these activities can be obtained from Keith Taggart's website (to whom I am very grateful). Others refer to past paper pracs which can be got from AQA or other past paper repositories.
PPT with key definitions , equations and examples (also contains answers to Q on worksheet) Examples are graded from basic application of the formula to an extended synoptic question which is scaffolded on the worksheet. Suited to a one hour lesson with a fairly able class.
Student activity backed up by ppt with lesson plan. Activity time approximately 30 mins assuming no prior knowledge. Student handout blank diagrams on ppt.
