A full lesson outlining the basic GCSE structure of the atom, the position and charges of the subatomic particles inside it. A part of the course which is sometimes difficult to teach in a fun and interactive/discovery based way, this lesson will help students to discover information and make connections themselves. Students will hopefully not only learn the charges and masses and positions of subatomic particles, but gain an appreciation of scale and relative mass, as well as understand some of the reasons behind the structure of the atom and the reason we draw it the way we do. This lesson includes: Powerpoint - including key notes, delivery tips, modelling ideas, interactive class activities and key hinge/get-them-thinking questions, tips on dealing with common misconceptions Multiple choice interactive plenary activity Full answers Lesson Objectives Describe what a subatomic particle is Describe the structure of an atom in terms of subatomic particles Give the positions, relative mass and charge of the three subatomic particles

A full lesson resource teaching students how to use the periodic table (mass number and atomic number) to count the numbers of subatomic particles in an atom. This lesson also covers the definition of “isotopes”. This lesson also dual codes this information with atomic diagrams and periodic table squares to cement student understanding of where these numbers come from, while also being a great support for EAL and SEN students. Great for “I do, we do, you do” activities and can be easily added to and extended if more examples and practice are needed by a given class. Lesson contains: Lesson powerpoint, including whole class whiteboard AFL activities, core hinge/thinking questions, full answers and notes to aid in lesson delievery and structure Student worksheet Exam style questions with mark scheme Lesson Objectives: Know what the numbers on the periodic table mean Use the periodic table to count the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom Predict atomic number and mass number from the numbers of subatomic particles Define the term “isotope” and identify examples of them

This lesson is a KS3 biology lesson covering the definition of organ systems, examples of organ systems and their functions. This lesson contains 3 different versions of the main activity for you to use depending on your class disposition and access to computers. This lesson contains: Powerpoint (containing relevant video links and answers) Student worksheet (PDF and Editable) Student worksheet answers (PDF and Editable) Student Card Sort (Large around the room version and pairs version) Lesson Objectives: Define the term “organ system” Identify some of the key organ systems in the human body and what they do Describe the hierarchy of organisation in a multicellular organism
