A complete, and ready to deliver KS4 lesson
There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it.
Objectives / students learn to:
* Describe what is happening during the fission of uranium-235.
* Describe U-235’s fission products.
* Explain how a chain reaction works.
* Understand how a chain reaction can be controlled.
* Understand the different roles of control rods and moderators
* Understand the difference between fission and fusion.
This lesson majors on fission and chain reactions and their control (and briefly mentions fusion) and it contains the following activities:
Starter - picture puzzle to get the students thinking.
Starter (more) - game / quiz.
SPaG / literacy based on fission.
Video links (very carefully chosen and 3 in total).
Differentiated work sheets - 3 different levels of difficulty.
Gap fills.
Animations (2 different animations):
- A single Fission reaction.
- Fission chain reactions.
Kinaesthetic activity - get your students up and moving about.
Gap fill (on a different area of this subject).
Plenary quiz game.
All answers to all activities are provided.
