Learning Objectives ✤ Describe briefly the uses if limestone and how it is quarried. ✤ Consider and evaluate the environmental, social and economic effects of exploiting limestone and producing building materials from it. ✤ Evaluate the developments in using limestone, cement and concrete as building materials, and their advantages and disadvantages over other materials. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: Limestone cycle folder Main 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehBKETtRImk How does cement work? AFL: Homework Take a look at this article: Worlds largest Open pit Mines (Quarrys) To add extra wow factor I found them on google maps for you: • The biggest iron mine • The deepest mine • The deadliest mine Your task after this lesson will be to prepare yourself for a debate on Quarrying - Is it good or bad? The best pupils will research both sides, and this article will give you great perspective. For example Hibbing Minnesota would not exist at all without the local mine as it provides all the jobs and income for the area. There are lots of positive and negative arguments in the text of the article. You may also want to research easier to read websites such as BBC Bitesize.

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Carbon Monoxide on health and discuss why this pollutant is of global concern. ✤ Explain why carbon monoxide detectors are used. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMnaLKlVXxo Practical: Main 1: See worksheet. Main 2: Balancing equations activity in ppt. AFL: Homework Produce a warning poster on the dangers of improper use of gas fires in the home. A good poster will meet the learning objectives above and include explanation of any keywords used.. - examples on website

Learning Objectives ✤ To plan an investigation into the effect of volume of air on the time it takes for a candle to go out. ✤ To carry out an investigation Settler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwU3YL_SD70 Starter: Use common mistakes ppt. Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: This is the levelled task for this topic. We will be used to level along UK national curriculum levels you ability to carry out an investigation. The assessment is looking mostly for your ability to make links between the topics and explain both verbally and using diagrams. The levels available will range from a 3c (lowest) to a 7a (highest). If pupils have already achieved a 7c or above in the previous levelled practical they will be given the opportunity to use the GCSE criteria, these have much more criteria to be completed but will allow pupils to achieve grades rating from a FAIL to an A*.

Learning Objectives ✤ Understand that liquids can be separated by distillation according to their boiling points. ✤ Describe the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air by fractional distillation Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Can show the oxygen in the jar demo with the water rising then ask the kids to explain why this demo does not show that the air is 20% oxygen as they are often taught but is due to pressure differences instead. Practical: Main 1: Use ppt. Main 2: AFL: Most pupils will struggle with the concept but can be used as an introduction to year 10 - use questions from year 10 textbook to assess. Homework

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Global Dimming and discuss why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ Relate this to particle theory and light diffraction/reflection. Settler: Starter: https://quizlet.com/57699307/aqa-c143-hydrocarbon-fuels-flash-cards/ Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: See ppt. Main 2: AFL: Homework Exploratorium activity on website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JmrmwIyhAE

Covers all of Chem4 These google forms are designed to allow you to either print or mail direct to you students and they can self assess what they know against the required specification. When completed either within the email or in an internet browser (works perfectly on mobile devices) the evaluation from the class is sent directly back to you where a breakdown of the responses is built into the form. (responses - summary of responses). **UPDATE** Digital gforms are linked to in the word document only Each form only takes pupils a few minutes to fill out and are much quicker than traditional Red/amber/green self assessments. Ideally complete after the lesson is taught, at the beginning of any revision period and at the end of a revision session.

A learning opportunity and satire based on the hugely popular social networking phenomenon, this is atom book, a resource to allow elements of various masses and numbers to communicate. You can either; use the resource yourself to generate staters, plenary or interesting discussion points around the content of your lesson. use the included atom pages to generate discussion or - give the template to the pupils and have them create their own discussions between the elements or molecules you have learned about in the lesson.

Main 1: Show pupils how to draw the structure of the Earth. Pupils produce a version in their books. Main 2: Question pupils about the states of the layers and how they know this. AFL: 4 Mark Question: Describe the Earth’s layers explain with examples how they're properties are based on their state. With a WAGOLL (examples of medium and higher answers are in the ppt). Homework: Possibly ask pupils to produce a 3d model of their diagram.

Learning Objectives State that volcanoes occur at tectonic plate boundaries. Explain why do people live near volcanoes? Contrast volcanoes predictability with those of earthquakes. Settler: What are volcanoes? Pictures and video Starter: Pupils draw and label main parts of a volcano. Demonstration: Candlewax volcano Search for this on youtube or RSC website. Practical: Main 1: Where do volcanoes occur? Main 2: AFL: Practice questions in ppt Homework Homework: IN PAIRS Produce a model of a volcano. You can use your imagination, with whatever materials you have to hand. If you want your volcano to react there are lots of videos to show you how. If you are stuck for ideas you can use the if Doha had a volcano model template on the website.

Learning Objectives Investigate how speed of cooling affects the crystal size of minerals. Link the properties of igneous rocks with where they cooled. Use particle diagrams to explain the difference between intrusive and extrusive Settler: Revision of intrusive and extrusive from previous lesson. Starter: Pupil write their own hypothesis for the practical – discuss what makes a good hypothesis. Fter pupils have done theirs they can asses themselves based on the WAGOLL in the ppt. Demonstration: Practical:/ Main 1: Pupils carry out the salol/lead iodide or stearic acid cooling practical. Main 2: Pupils write an analysis for this experiment, using the mark scheme. Pupils can then peer assess using the markscheme and the WAGOLL. AFL: Ask pupils at the end how giants causeway was made and importantly where? Photographs in ppt.
