OCR Physics Using x rays

This is a complete lesson covering sections 6.5.1 a-g of the OCR Physics specification- medical imaging using X-rays. It starts by introducing an X-ray tube and explaining how they work. It then moves onto varying the intensity of X-ray beams and how they can be used to produce images. Attenuation is the next topic along with a series of calculations. The lesson closes with looking at CAT scans and how they differ from X-rays. Each section has questions including exam style questions.

The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end.

All answers are included.

I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.
