Structure of the Atom, Isotopes

(1)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Structure of the Atom and Atomic Number, Mass Number and Isotopes for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. Exam spec: Physics 4.4.1.1 and 4.4.1.2 / Combined Science 6.4.1.1 and 6.4.1.2. Note: I updated and improved this lesson 11.03.22 so please download again if you purchased previously. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Describe the size and structure of atoms including the mass and charge of the subatomic particles. Explain how electrons can change energy level. Describe the structure of nuclei of isotopes using the terms atomic number and mass number and using symbols in the format 126C Explain what an isotope is. Apply your understanding to calculate the numbers of the different sub-atomic particles in a nucleus. Calculate the atomic and mass numbers of different isotopes and suggest possible consequences of using different isotopes. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Notes on the exam spec: This lesson is for Combined Science and separate science GCSE Physics and covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.4.2.4. This lesson also covers the final part of 4.4.2.1 (uses of radiation and evaluating best sources) as this part of the spec worked better here. The rest of 4.4.2.1 is in the previous lessons “Radioactive Decay and Nuclear Equations” and “Activity and Half Life”. The exam spec does not make reference to some aspects that I feel are important and / or engaging when learning about radiation (e.g. effects on the body, Chernobyl) or only includes it in GCSE Physics and not combined science and so I have included some clearly marked “optional” sections. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Changes in Momentum for AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.5.7.3 and is for Higher Tier GCSE Physics students only. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Learning objectives: Describe how domestic appliances transfer energy. Describe how the amount of energy an appliance transfers depends on its power and how long it is on for. Describe how work is done when charge flows in a circuit. Calculate the amount of energy transferred by electrical work using: E = P t E = Q V. Calculate power using P = V I P = I2 R The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

This revision resource covers Changes of State and The Particle Model which * AQA Advance Exam Info for 2022 identifies as a “major focus” for both Combined Science and Physics, for both tiers. AQA GCSE Exam Spec: Combined Science 6.3.1 / Physics 4.3.1 which includes Density (4.3.1.1) and Changes of State (4.3.1.2) both linked to the Particle Model of Matter. This revision sheet can be printed in black and white. The questions are the same as those in my resources below, however those resources contain answers as well as further “exam style” questions. The revision sheet works well with the lesson resources that can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12582100 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12582133
