A full lesson resource teaching students how to use the periodic table (mass number and atomic number) to count the numbers of subatomic particles in an atom. This lesson also covers the definition of “isotopes”. This lesson also dual codes this information with atomic diagrams and periodic table squares to cement student understanding of where these numbers come from, while also being a great support for EAL and SEN students. Great for “I do, we do, you do” activities and can be easily added to and extended if more examples and practice are needed by a given class. Lesson contains: Lesson powerpoint, including whole class whiteboard AFL activities, core hinge/thinking questions, full answers and notes to aid in lesson delievery and structure Student worksheet Exam style questions with mark scheme Lesson Objectives: Know what the numbers on the periodic table mean Use the periodic table to count the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom Predict atomic number and mass number from the numbers of subatomic particles Define the term “isotope” and identify examples of them

This lesson is lesson 6 in the Year 8 “Working as a Scientist 2” topic. This lesson focuses on how we communicate science to different audiences, and how we can tailor our writing and presentation of information to suit them. This lesson is designed to be a “click and teach” lesson with minimal planning needed from the teacher, which is great for non-specialist teachers. Lesson resources contain: Lesson powerpoint containing class activities and instructions, teacher delivery notes in “notes” section, discussion slides and full answers. PDF copies of different types of scientific communication (A childrens science book, newspaper article and scientific journal article) all about melting ice caps. PDF copy of a simple scientific journal article for students to adapt about the effects of temperature on seed germination (Students should have already looked at germination in Year 7) NOTE: All example pieces of scientific writing are all tailor made for this lesson and are of the correct reading age for Year 8 students. Lesson Outcomes: Describe the key features of effective scientific communication Describe how to adapt communication for different audiences
