This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.5.5.1.1 and 4.5.5.2 and is for both foundation and higher tier students. Please note that this lesson does not cover 4.5.5.1.2 - pressure in a column of liquid and upthrust – which are in separate lessons and for higher tier students only. 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!

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. 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: • 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. 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. 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!

Animal Adaptations and Extremophiles

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Animal Adaptations and Extremophiles for AQA GCSE (9-1) Combined Science / Biology. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Biology / Combined Science exam spec point 4.7.1.4 in relation to animals and extremophile bacteria. You may wish to also teach about plant adaptations, which are not covered in this lesson. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher 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. What’s Included: Worksheet to complete the adaptations table task. Two starters so you can extend this over two lessons if needs be. Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. Worked examples of calculations (surface area to volume ratio). Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section 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. Learning objectives: Describe how organisms have adaptations that enable them to survive in the conditions in which they normally live. Describe adaptations as structural, behavioural or functional. Suggest or explain how organisms are adapted to live in their natural environment, when given appropriate information. Describe how extremophiles are organisms that live in environments that are very extreme (such as at high temperature, pressure, or salt concentration) and describe how they are adapted to their environment. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Combined Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
