Activity and Half Life

(1)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Activity, Count Rate and Half Life for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. 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 and 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. Learning objectives: Describe what is meant by the “activity” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured. Describe what is meant by the “count rate” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured. Define what is meant by the “half life” of a radioactive isotope. Explain the concept of half life and relate it to the random nature of radioactive decay. Calculate the half life of a radioactive isotope, including by using graphs. Calculate the decrease in activity / count rate of a radioactive isotope after a given number of half lives, expressing it as a ratio. 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!

This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam-style questions. My lessons are designed 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. • 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. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Surface Area to Volume Ratio & Exchange Surfaces

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam style questions, tasks and answers on Surface Area to Volume Ratio and Exchange Surfaces for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. This lesson covers the second part of AQA GCSE Biology / Combined Science exam spec point 4.1.3.1, regarding surface area to volume ratio and exchange surfaces. The first part of 4.1.3.1 (diffusion and factors that affect the rate of diffusion) is covered in a previous lesson in the sequence as I felt that otherwise there would be too much content for one lesson. 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-style questions.
