The lesson includes the difference between average and instantaneous speed, how to calculate speed, hot to interpret and draw distance/time graphs and how to calculate speed from a distance time graph.
One activity towards the end of the lesson requires the use of worksheets form the ActiveTeach but could easily be swapped out for other worksheets available.
The complete Edexcel CP1 topic all about motion.
Including:
CP1a Vectors and Scalars
CP1b Distance / Time Graphs
CP1c Acceleration
CP1d Velocity / Time Graphs
(some lessons may involve the use of worksheets/videos from the ActiveTeach but could be easily replaced by other resources you have available).
A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
Christmas Quiz for use within Science lessons towards the end of term.
There is a combination of science specific rounds, loosely based science rounds and nothing to do with science rounds.
CP5b lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1) looking at the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Including what colours make up visible light, the order of the EM spectrum, comparing frequency and wavelength and telescopes that detect EM waves.
CP3b lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1) looking at energy efficiency.
The lesson includes how devices lose energy, what efficiency is, comparing efficiency of devices, Sankey diagrams, how to calculate efficiency and how to increase efficiency.
Revision activity for the Edexcel combined science GCSE CP4 and CP5 topics.
The idea is that in pairs/groups, they roll two dice to determine which questions to answer and fill them in on the sheet.
CP6g lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about half-life.
1 task in the PowerPoint requires the use of worksheets from the Pearson’s ActiveLearn but could easily be replaced by other worksheets
CP5e lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1) all about the dangers of EM waves.
The lesson includes dangers of microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays.
Double sided A3 revision worksheet covering the CP5 topic in the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1).
Includes content from:
- CP5a Electromagnetic Waves
- CP5b The Electromagnetic Spectrum
- CP5c Using The Long Waves
- CP5d Using The Short Waves
- CP5e EM Radiation Dangers
Learning outcomes for the topic are included on the reverse side for students to rate (I get them to do this as a starter to the revision lesson).
