A complete, and ready to deliver KS4 lesson There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it. Objectives / students learn to: * Describe what is happening during the fission of uranium-235. * Describe U-235’s fission products. * Explain how a chain reaction works. * Understand how a chain reaction can be controlled. * Understand the different roles of control rods and moderators * Understand the difference between fission and fusion. This lesson majors on fission and chain reactions and their control (and briefly mentions fusion) and it contains the following activities: Starter - picture puzzle to get the students thinking. Starter (more) - game / quiz. SPaG / literacy based on fission. Video links (very carefully chosen and 3 in total). Differentiated work sheets - 3 different levels of difficulty. Gap fills. Animations (2 different animations): A single Fission reaction. Fission chain reactions. Kinaesthetic activity - get your students up and moving about. Gap fill (on a different area of this subject). Plenary quiz game. All answers to all activities are provided. Please note: when searching for resources please type barclayfox into the search box/engine and it will show you all my resources.
