Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Activity, Count Rate and Half Life for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.4.2.3 and the parts of 4.4.2.1 regarding activity and count rate (which make more sense in this lesson) – the rest of 4.4.2.1 (and all of 4.4.2.2) are in the previous lesson “radioactive decay and nuclear equations”.
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.
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 and 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 what is meant by the “activity” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured.
Describe what is meant by the “count rate” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured.
Define what is meant by the “half life” of a radioactive isotope.
Explain the concept of half life and relate it to the random nature of radioactive decay.
Calculate the half life of a radioactive isotope, including by using graphs.
Calculate the decrease in activity / count rate of a radioactive isotope after a given number of half lives, expressing it as a ratio.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

KS1 Science: My life cycle
Use this activity with its quality questioning to help teach the life cycle of humans in KS1 Science. It complements our book ‘Growing and Changing’ from our FUNdamental Science series. For more information, downloads and to purchase our books, please visit www.rubytuesdaybooks.com
This download helps meet the following National Curriculum targets:
Year 2: Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals for survival.
Describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food and hygiene.
Notes and guidance (non-statutory):
Pupils should be introduced to the basic needs of animals for survival, as well as the importance of exercise and nutrition for humans. They should also be introduced to the processes of reproduction and growth in animals.
Pupils might work scientifically by: observing, through video or first-hand observation and measurement, how different animals, including humans, grow; asking questions about what things animals need for survival and what humans need to stay healthy; and suggesting ways to find answers to their questions.
