A full lesson based on the Activate 2 (P2.6) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers fossil fuels, power plants and alternative energy sources using a range of activities. All answers are incorporated into the slides facilitating peer/self marking and timers are used to promote pace. The information hunt and the worksheet activity are taken from other TES authors. The plenary is an exciting 'car race quiz' where students are put into groups and compete the reach the finish line first, pre-prepared questions/answers included. I usually take the answer from the group to put their hand up first, those who answer incorrectly are frozen out until the next round. A reflective plenary is also included as a back up in case the lesson progresses faster than expected.

A complete lesson based on the Activate 2 (P1.8) SOW but can be used for others. Students are introduced to the uses of electromagnets with examples, video is used to incite their interest further. An introduction to motors is included (a demonstration is useful here). Students then take part in an information hunt to apply and reinforce their learning - answers included. Using Ipads students then conduct independent research on recycling and electromagnets, producing a leaflet which can be judged by peers. Students then take part in a Kahoot quiz on the topic of electromagnets (free log in and Ipads required). The plenary consists of students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives, a soft toy can be thrown around to elect who reads out their answer. HW sheet and info hunt taken from TES. This can be a very fun and engaging lesson in a well managed class!

A full lesson based on the new AQA (P7.5) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers activity, count rate and the Geiger counter. Students are then taught how to calculate half life from a graph using examples. A worksheet is then completed (taken from another TES author). Students then complete a simple practical to model half life; they roll small cubes (or dice) and take the cubes that land silver side up (or on the number 1) out of play. Students plot a graph and answer questions relating to the practical. There is then a final grid challenge that students can use to assess their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are incorporated into the sides, timers are used to promote pace. Video used and radiation sickness discussed in order to incite interest.
