A worksheet with a challenge question
A lesson for KS3 students or low level GCSE, introduces the concept of atoms, charge, how charges can be transferred, and some of the risks associated with charged materials.
Lesson comes fully planned (just follow the ppt), and includes an activity with a plasma ball (if you've got one; if not, just leave it out!). There's a link to a youtube video called electric graffiti in the ppt as well (it's 14 min long but worth it, the students always like watching it).
NB: I deliberately avoided using the Van der Graaf generator, as I wanted to save it for GCSE.
Learning Objectives:
To recall structure of atom
To describe how charges can be transferred
To describe and explain the risks and precaution of using charge
A lesson on force,mass, and types of force, as well as an introduction to free body diagrams.
Contains notes, examples, practice questions, and practice exam questions
A lesson on energy conservation for GCSE Physics.
Designed for AQA 2016 but transferable to OCR , EDEXCEL.
Students begin by simply naming energy forms
They learn the law of energy conservation (with prompt questions)
They then complete an energy carousel (or simply fill out the sheet if you like)
Then they learn about wasted energy, energy units, and energy transfer diagrams.
Students calculate and complete missing values.
Then they learn about Sankey diagrams.
To finish, they draw and interpret a Sankey diagram using given info.
As always, answers are on the slides. Please leave a review.
Covers spec CP1 TO CP2.10 Physics Revision lesson for Motion
Includes:
Starter
Specification statements
Range of questions timed on each ppt slide.
Answers included.
While specific to edexcel, is transferable to OCR and AQA. Just edit the statements.
