Particle model of matter GCSE SOW

(1)
Full SOW for Topic 20 (combined) or 3 (Physics only): Particle Model of Matter. AQA GCSE Combined Science or Physics only (exam from 2018). Lesson 1 - Particle model to explain density Lesson 2 - Density of regular objects RP Lesson 3 - Density of irregular objects RP Lesson 4 - Chemical and Physical changes Lesson 5 - Changes in state Lesson 6 - Internal energy of a system Lesson 7&8 - Specific heat capacity (investigation and theory) Lesson 9 - Specific latent heat Lesson 10 - Motion of particles in a gas Physics only: Lesson 11 - Gas pressure and temperature Lesson 12 - Gas pressure and volume Lesson 13 - Work done on a gas Topic assessment also included. All lessons planned in 6-part lesson format. Most resources my own though some resources may be adapted from other sources, including AQA and TES. Feedback appreciated.

Structure & Bonding structure strips

Structure & Bonding structure strips

(0)
Structure strips to help students answer common Structure & Bonding explain questions. This resource is aimed at lower ability but could be used to aid structuring exam questions for any ability.
Structure & Bonding comparison questions

Structure & Bonding comparison questions

(0)
Resource designed to help students unpick how to answer comparison questions at GCSE. Starts by breaking down the question, including command words and key terminology. Then splits the answer “structure strip” style - I would usually model this under the visualiser. Students to then try applying the technique to two more examples.
Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

(0)
Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)

Titration IDEAL task (required practical)

(0)
Worksheet set out in the IDEAL structure to cover the titration required practical. Exam question for Link section is from exampro. I - Identify the equipment D - Describe the method E - Explain the method A - Analyse the results L - Link to exam question

The eye (with dissection)

(5)
High ability Unit 3 Physics (AQA) eye lesson. Including dissection activity to retrieve the lens with differentiated worksheets provided for this. 6 mark QWC question, with helpsheets,
House insulation project

House insulation project

(4)
Mini-project that aims to consolidate knowledge from P.1.1.1 to P1.1.4 (convection, conduction, heat transfer, heating and insulation). Students to design and make their own model of an insulated house. Can get students to bring their own materials or provide them (e.g. cardboard boxes, tinfoil etc.) Takes 2 to 3 lessons. Winner decided by setting up a thermometer in the house and using a heat source, a light bulb that gives off a lot of heat works best, and then seeing which house reaches the highest internal temperature.
