Easy to use Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results. Simple and clear. Engaging and varied. Unique. Correct to the new 9-1 GCSE spec (Beware! Many lessons on tes are not correct as they are the old specification and this includes some that claim to be 9-1). OUTCOMES I can: ALL: Understand and recall the 8 energy stores and 4 pathways. ALL: Understand that energy is not created or destroyed, only transferred. MOST: During a practical apply stores and pathways to describe energy transfers. SOME: Create energy transfer diagrams. Please do NOT buy this if you bought my other complete lesson on energy stores and transfers. Your feedback would be appreciated :) Happy teaching! Barclayfox.
