Starter - Pupils exploring the blind spot
Main - Labelling of the eye, discussion of what happens to the pupil in light and dark, then exploring how it does that. Dissection of the eye.
Plenary - Levelled exam questions with markscheme
Starts by introducing the difference between a conscious and a reflex response, students have several activities to complete on a worksheet (all answers are on the slides) and then finishing with how to answer a compare question, and then one for the students to complete.
There is also an optional points to prove task which could be set as pre-reading, homework, or cover.
Students are introduced to the different senses and what stimulus they detect. Students then plan and carry out an investigation looking at sensitivity. There is a planning sheet to help students, plus marking sheets should you wish to extend this project over a couple of lessons
This bundle contains lessons from the three topics for the first section in the Oxford Press Textbook.
Chapter 1 - Matter and Radiation
1 - Inside the atom
2 - Stable and unstable nuclei
3 - Photons
4 - Matter and Antimatter
X - A set of revision resources
Chapter 2 - Quarks and Leptons
2 - Leptons
4 - Conservation Laws
Chapter 3 - Quantum Phenomena
1 - Photoelectricity
3 - Ionisation
4 - Fluorescent Lighting and Spectral Lines
6 - Wave particle duality
Note, not all the lessons in the book are covered as I used other lessons from TES for those.
Lesson starts with a recap on the previous lesson
Then moves on to the wave particle duality. Videos are used for this, but cannot be included due to copyright reasons so you will have to find your own for this.
DeBroglie wavelength formula introduced, with examples, then a worksheet to complete and some exam questions
Lesson introduces the ways in which ionisation can occur, giving the students opportunities to answer the questions on the worksheet. Students are then presented with a game to play which consolidates all the calculations they have done prior to this.
Lesson starts with introducing the photon, then the work of Einstein and the theory behind photoelectricity. Students are prompted throughout the lesson to complete various parts on the worksheet (answers included in the powerpoint). There is then a chance to complete an exam question, and the lesson finishes with a 10 word story about the lesson.
This lesson was graded outstanding by an external observer.
Bundle containing the following lessons:
1 - Inside the atom
2 - Stable and unstable nuclei
3 - Photons
4 - Matter and Antimatter
5 - Revision for this topic
Intro to the lesson has the students covering things from previous lessons.
Then move on to all the conservation laws with lots of examples (some with answers) for the students to complete.
Introduction to the particle families and how they are broken down. Then introduce how lepton number works. Some examples on the board and then a worksheet to complete. Plenary has the student devising games
Lesson starts with a couple of questions on previous topics to check embedded understanding.
Students are then taught about matter and antimatter, with worked examples of pair production and annihilation. Students are then to complete a worksheet which includes exam questions. All the answers are on a worked sheet.
Introduction and delivery of the content for this lesson
Students then complete a worksheet which includes exam questions. A sheet with the worked examples is included.
Powerpoint to introduce the content, then the students complete a worksheet. Then there are two sets of exam questions for them to complete, and some little quiz cards they can use with a board game, or anything similar.
Starter - Thinking tasks getting the students to think about half lives but without actually talking about them
Main - Introduce a half life, then get the students to do a practical to get half life data which they plot, then calculate the half life.
Plenary - Graph interpretation and exam questions
Starter - recap on decay equations
Main - Again moving through alpha, beta and gamma but as a demo this time, adding information about ionisation power, penetration power and speed.
Plenary - Students complete levelled question or exam questions
Starter - Students remembering information from last lesson, then a true and false quiz on radioactivity
Main - Remind students about atomic and mass numbers, introduce isotopes, then a short worksheet to recap that information. Move on to the three types of decay and what happens in them, then a longer worksheet of increasing difficulty. All worksheets have answers
Plenary - A couple more decay questions
Lesson works students through answering a question on the structure of the atom. They have 3 opportunities to answer the question with your added input in between each attempt. They then check their answers with the mark scheme, then go on to answer exam questions.
