Refraction

Refraction

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Refraction for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.2.2 / Combined Science 6.6.2.2. This lesson has been written so that it can be taught to GCSE Physics students (who will have covered reflection in a previous lesson) and GCSE Combined Science students (who will not have covered reflection). I have also written it so that it can be taught in the order specified in the exam spec, or taught as part of a “light” topic as some schools prefer. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Two Starter / Do Now activities - one for GCSE Physics classes and one for Combined Science classes • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. Learning objectives: Describe how different substances can absorb, transmit, reflect or refract electromagnetic waves, and how this is related to the wavelength of the wave. Describe what refraction is and when it occurs. Use ray diagrams to show the refraction of light at the boundary between two different media. Explain why refraction occurs, using wave front diagrams. Explain why refraction is due to the difference in velocity of waves in different substances. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Notes on the exam spec: This lesson is for Combined Science and separate science GCSE Physics and covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.4.2.4. This lesson also covers the final part of 4.4.2.1 (uses of radiation and evaluating best sources) as this part of the spec worked better here. The rest of 4.4.2.1 is in the previous lessons “Radioactive Decay and Nuclear Equations” and “Activity and Half Life”. The exam spec does not make reference to some aspects that I feel are important and / or engaging when learning about radiation (e.g. effects on the body, Chernobyl) or only includes it in GCSE Physics and not combined science and so I have included some clearly marked “optional” sections.

As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Particle Model: States of Matter

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on States of Matter, Particle Model (Kinetic Theory), and Changes of State for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This was updated 31st Jan 2022 as I realised that I had not included answers to a couple of questions, and then I made some mainly cosmetic changes 3rd April 2022 - please download again if you are one of the many people who purchased before then.

The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Two Starter / Do Now activities so you can extend this over two lessons if needs be. • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson.

Learning objectives: Describe the states of matter – the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Describe the changes of state between the different states of matter. Describe kinetic theory - how the particles are arranged and move in solids, liquids and gases. Link the forces between particles to the arrangement and movement of the particles and to the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Explain why mass is conserved when a change of state occurs. Written for AQA GCSE Science and Physics but likely to be applicable to other exam specifications and certainly adaptable for a more able KS3 class.

Electricity: Resistors Ohm's Law

(1)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Resistors and Ohm’s Law (ohmic and non-ohmic conductors, filament lamps, diodes, LDRs and thermistors) for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This is the third lesson in the teaching sequence. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.1.4 / Combined Science 6.2.1.4 theory sections but does not give instructions, sample results etc for the required practical.

Learning objectives: Describe that for some resistors resistance is constant as current changes, but for others resistance changes as current changes. Describe Ohm’s Law and what is meant by an ohmic conductor. Explain the shape of the current-potential difference graphs for fixed resistors, lamps, diodes. Describe how resistance changes with light or temperature in LDRs and thermistors, and their uses.
