This lesson has been written to act as a revision tool for students at the completion of topic P1 of the CIE IGCSE Combined Science specification or in the lead up to mock or terminal exams. This motion topic is extensive and the engaging PowerPoint and accompanying resources have been designed to include a wide range of activities that will allow the students to assess their understanding of the core and supplement sections and to recognise any areas which need further attention. This specification is fairly heavy in mathematical content and so a lot of opportunities are presented for a range of skills to be tested and the PowerPoint guides students through the application of these requirements such as rearranging the formula and converting between units. The following specification points have received a particular focus in this lesson: Calculate average speed using total distance and total time Plot and interpret a speed-time graph Recognise different motions on a speed time graph and relate this to the resultant force Calculate acceleration and distance travelled from a speed-time graph Distinguish between mass and weight Recall and use the equation W = mg to calculate the weight Recall and use the equation to calculate density Interpret extension-load graphs and calculate the spring constant Recognise the significance of the term, “limit of proportionality” Recall and use the equation to calculate pressure A number of quick quiz rounds, such as FILL THE VOID and THE BIG REVEAL, are used to maintain engagement and motivation and to challenge the students on their recall of important points. It is estimated that it will take in excess of 2 hours of IGCSE teaching time to cover the detail included in this lesson

This is a fully-resourced lesson which uses exam-style questions, engaging quiz competitions, quick tasks and discussion points to challenge students on their understanding of the content of topics P1 & P8 - P15, that will assessed on PAPER 6. It has been specifically designed for students on the Edexcel GCSE Combined Science course who will be taking the FOUNDATION TIER examinations but is also suitable for students taking the higher tier who need to ensure that the fundamentals are known and understood. The lesson has been written to cover as many specification points as possible but the following sub-topics have been given particular attention: The 13 recall and apply equations tested in PAPER 6 Electrical components and symbols Setting up an ammeter and voltmeter in a circuit Current and potential difference in a series circuit The change in resistance in a LDR, diode, thermistor and filament bulb Mains domestic supply in the UK Plugs and fuses as safety devices Contact and non-contact forces Attraction and repulsion in magnets Magnetic fields Changes of state as physical changes The extension of a spring In order to maintain challenge whilst ensuring that all abilities can access the questions, the majority of the tasks have been differentiated and students can ask for extra support when they are unable to begin a question. A revision quiz, consisting of 10 rounds, runs over the course of the lesson and a score sheet is included with the resources to maintain motivation and engagement. Due to the extensiveness of this revision lesson, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 3 teaching hours to complete the tasks and therefore this can be used at different points throughout the course as well as acting as a final revision before the PAPER 6 exam.
