AQA C1 Atomic Structure Summary and Revision

This is a summary and revision of the AQA C1 Atomic Structure unit. This is planned for an entire lesson at the end of the topic and covers all of the content in two sections.

1. The first section is the starter and main part of the lesson and covers Atomic Structure, History of the Atom and Separating Techniques. For the starter, students are asked to complete one set of questions.
2. The main part of the lesson allows the students to complete a set of key notes on each topic before answering a set of questions. They are to start with the topic that they ignored in the starter because it was too hard. There are two levels of questions for each topic and the student can either choose their level or be directed by you. Answers are provided for the students to self assess. If they do not meet the minimum requirement to demonstrate understanding, a mini masterclass can be run to reinforce the key topics.
3. An exam style question for each topic is provided.
4. The plenary is about balancing equations and students are given the rules, a brief overview of writing equations and practice questions with answers.

I have run this lesson with a challenge for the main part of the lesson. Prizes awarded for the first student to complete all of the notes and questions for each topic; highest mark overall; highest mark for each section etc…
