The lesson starts by identifying the key word ... cavity. The students then get to investigate how best to keep a coffee warm, this is then summarised by a worksheet. The Lesson concluded with an exam question specific to Edexcel 9-1.
This lesson has been designed to start getting motivation back into a difficult year 10 class. It is one that I did not think was good enough to list on TES premium however it is not a bad lesson.
For lessons with high quality AFL and differentiation inbuilt please view my TES shop:

The lesson starts with a series of questions to illicit prior understanding of the students. There is then an explanation of gravity and the calculations extensively modelled. After that the students get an opportunity to select from a series of tasks and opt to work, this is outcome differentiated via gold, silver, bronze tasks. The students then complete a hinge point question (AFL) that directs them to 1 of 3 differentiated tasks, there is a purple (high order thinking) task available for the students to move onto once their tasks are completed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket and a rag of LO.
The resource is an opportunity to embed student accountability and student led tracking. This will only be applicable if used with my other forces and energy resources available to purchase.
This is sample resource for the scheme of work available from the premium resources type in -
'Waves and Electricity - 13 lessons and end of topic assessment.'
The lesson starts with a review of previous learning, before modelling how to calculate frequency. The understanding of this calculation is assessed via a hinge point question, this directs learning to one of three tasks, the students demonstrates their learning before the lesson concludes in an exit ticket.
The lessons is intended to help students recall core knowledge by short answer testing. I covers key content from the last 5 lessons.
** this is not a stand alone resource and should be purchased along with my other forces and energy resources.
This is a constructive observation/ practical lesson that offers the student the choice of task as to gain a better response and effort from the child.
The lesson starts with a review of how homework help exam performance, it then moves on to the students identifying for themselves what 3 things a force can do to a lump of Plasticine. The lesson swiftly moves to another independent identification of 8 key forces via a differentiated worksheet. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The lesson start by looking at the Apollo 8 rocket taking off and introduces the huge unbalanced forces at play. The teacher then lead with a series of images of scuba divers an gives an opportunity to question the class. The lesson builds to start including numbers so the student can calculate the resultant force before the students construct meaning using a simple worksheet on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with a detailed exit ticket.
Lesson 5 look at the concept of relative motion, it is a lesson aimed for students who are looking to study GCSE Edexcel.
The lesson starts with a review of previous learning via the RAGing of topics over the last 4 lessons. It then moves on to look at a train crash (not graphic or upsetting) an gets the students to think about what the implication of this are. The lesson swiftly moves to some animations of relative motion to encourage the students to gain an understanding via a think, pair, share activity. There is then a hinge question to direct learning and assess understanding this leads into a differentiated task either gold, silver or bronze, there is included a purple extension.
Student have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding with a differentiated challenge question the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
This a core concept for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE physics. This lesson is aimed at year 8-9 however could be made course specific.
The lesson starts be acting on any feedback from the previous lesson before establishing the learning outcomes for the lesson. The teacher demonstrate the limit of proportionality with the spring and masses, there is space on the ppt for the results to be recorded and a graph drawn showing the elastic limit. students then rank their confidence before selecting a differentiated gold or silver task. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
This is the end of unit test that assesses learning the the series of work. There is a grade converter to give and accurate idea of the 9-1 grades these student would currently be working at. There is a flight path to assess whether the student is on track or not.
The lesson is highly differentiated and focuses on allowing the student a degree of choice as to which tasks to complete. The lessons starts with a DO it Now activity which has two options for the students to choose, an easy and a harder, this demonstrates stretch and challenge. The central activity to the lesson get the students up and reviewing different forces and coming up with examples. Knowledge is shown via a Blooms pyramid activity. The lesson finishes in an exit ticket.
Here are 4 differentiated worksheets on speed distance time.
Bronze worksheet: very basic unit and number manipulation in a scaffold-ed table.
Silver worksheet: harder question than bronze yet still within a table structure.
Gold worksheet: harder questions than silver with a more open style.
Purple worksheet: Exam style open ended questions
The lesson starts by explain the law of thermodynamics before the student experiment with a series of mini-activities and identify the energy transfer happening within them. The learning is assess via a hinge point question before a differentiated activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The lessons starts by reviewing previous learning in the topic. It then moves on to a SOLO taxonomy task (not labelled as solo) with 5 separate tasks of increasing difficulty. Two tasks within are practical. The lesson concludes with an exit tick and a review of LO.
The knowledge organiser comprises of the key information need for a student to be successful in this first half of the course. On the reverse of the KO there are progress focused questions, either to strengthen understanding or extend thinking.
Here are 4 differentiated worksheets on speed distance time.
Bronze worksheet: very basic unit and number manipulation in a scaffold-ed table.
Silver worksheet: harder question than bronze yet still within a table structure.
Gold worksheet: harder questions than silver with a more open style.
Purple worksheet: Exam style open ended questions
This is a revision resource for the low to mid ability. The lesson consists of looking at and modelling the calculation before the students attempt the calculation and them try an exam style question. This is the format for calculating: speed, weight, acceleration and force.
