2 New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Specific Heat Capacity' written in line with new AQA Physics specification. A choice of two starters, one ask pupils to put a series of fluids in order of which would boil first from the same heat source another poses questions on different volumes of water and boiling and placing hot objects above boiling temperature in water. A focus on words to inform what specific heat capacity means to help understand the equation and units is given to explain what it meant by specific heat capacity. Questions included for practice of using equation for exam to secure marks in exam. A link to video is provided with prepared questions for pupils to answer. Specific heat capacity is further detailed with illustrations and comparisons of different substances. The AQA required practical 1 is provided as part of the lesson (all be it a tricky practical due to likely limited resources for the class), different methodologies are provided (many link to different methods are also in the note box). A set of review questions and mini-plenary questions conclude the lesson along with an example exam question.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Radioactivity and Half-life ' written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Starter poses two interesting questions in relation to a continuous doubling effect linking to the mathematics of the lesson and inverse of half-life. A quick recap on isotopes and different types of radiation is provided to keep key concepts in pupils minds. The coin flip (heads or tails) activity is detailed to get students to carry out this activity and collect data to plot the results from to show a 'half-life curve'. Following the explanation of random events the pupils are given the task of recording nuclear decays in relation to video shown on youtube. This then allows a direct link to be made to a half-life graph to nuclear decay. This then leads to the review of half-life graph review questions. Learning Objectives for Half-life lesson: 1) Review what is meant by isotope and how this is radioactive. 2) Understand the ‘random’ nature of radioactive decay. 3) State and explain what is meant by ‘half-life’. 4) Determine the half-life of different isotopes using given information. The lesson is summarised with review questions on the content covered.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Melting and Boiling points of substances (changes in states)' written in line with new AQA Physics specification Lesson Outline: Starter uses 5 quick question to recap some prior content question some key concepts for the lesson. Pure substances are discussed using a visual game to recognise if a pure substance is being shown or not - leading to a key definition. Melting and boiling points are then highlighted and linked back to the previous changes of states illustration. Impurities in substances are then discussed to show the importance of pure substances in melting and boiling points. An experiment to acquire data on melting and boiling points of water is outlined which lead to plotting a change of state graph. An ideal change of state diagram then allows the teacher to discuss with the class trends and key points along the graph. Lesson Objectives: - Identify pure substances and mixtures. - Explain what is meant by melting point and boiling point of a substance.- - Compare and contrast boiling and evaporation. - Detail changes in state of substance using a graph.
