A complete, and ready to deliver, high quality KS4 / GCSE lesson from Barclayfox.
This is a complete lesson from start to end, you do not need to spend many hours carefully planning, creating, resourcing and improving this lesson after each use. I have already spent those hours preparing this lesson for my students and improving it over many years.
There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it.
Lesson objectives:
* Explain how “ions” are formed.
* Understand the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
* Compare alpha, beta and gamma in terms of their abilities to penetrate and ionise.
The lesson contains:
Notes to help the teacher.
Starter task - unscramble the words race.
Recall Quiz questions with answers.
Card Sort activity - with answers.
Definitions (scientific literacy) activity.
Questions throughout – all answers are provided.
Theory slides (minimal and interactive – not ‘death by powerpoint’).
Gap fills.
Group work - excellent Kinaesthetic activity with questioning – to cement learning and provide some fun.
Video clip link (carefully selected – this alone can save you a lot of time).
Gap fill activity (table of properties) – all answers are provided
Plenary activity / quiz
Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt.
Homework.
Equipment list - to give to your technicians.
As teachers we all work ridiculously long hours each week.
