A 'one-side-of-A4' guide, with a description of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and classroom strategies, designed for secondary school subject teachers of students with this kind of learning disability.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Specific Heat Capacity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. Rewritten and improved 16.05.22. Specific Heat Capacity is included in the exam specification in two separate places: Energy Topic (Physics 4.1.1.3 / Combined Science 6.1.1.3) where it is followed by a required practical. Particle Model of Matter Topic (Physics 4.3.2.2 / Combined Science 6.3.2.2) The exam spec points are virtually the same for each. I have written this lesson so that it can be taught in either place, however the required practical means it is likely to be taught in the energy topic. 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 with answers • 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. . Learning objectives: Describe the difference between thermal energy and temperature. Define specific heat capacity. Describe the factors that affect the amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes. Explain how specific heat capacity can affect temperature changes and energy stored or released for different substances. Use the equation below to determine the temperature change, mass or specific heat capacity of an object, or the change in thermal energy. Change in thermal energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

This resources is aimed at pupils with high complex needs and trying to use PE as a means to engage them. This would be suitable for pupils with multiple learning difficulties such as sensory impairments, global learning delay and physical disabilities. This resource is a 6 week block of lessons that slowly add complexity to familiar tasks over the course of the unit. The unit uses Ball games as a means to help engage the pupils in their physical development. The resource also includes an outline of the unit that could be submitted as part of a medium term plan.

This resource is for teachers in Special Schools delivering PE to complex needs pupils. Included is a unit outline, pupil outcomes, lesson plan and a record sheet for staff to use. The resource is aimed at developing the individual movement of complex needs pupils and their general physical literacy. Sessions are geared towards classes with high staffing where the teacher acts a facilitator to the learning taking place and helps to guide the staff working with individual pupils.

A Mind Map, created in PowerPoint, that works as a poster or as a mini presentation that could be used as part of staff training or to build awareness. This list of difficulties is not exhaustive but is a flavour of some of the issues that can affect students with dyslexia.

Easy to use teacher guidance forms that will help staff when considering how best to support the individual needs of SEN pupils in their classes. This version is split into 4 different Cognition and Learning difficulties - Maths & Dyscalculia/ Reading & Dyslexia/ Spelling, Writing & Dyslexia/ Memory, Processing & Organisation. The sheets include summaries of: -strategies & QFT classroom ideas -SMART target suggestions -some useful classroom resources -a few possible interventions -assessments that could be used to baseline/track progress.

In this document you will find many suggestions of tools and resources to use in case you have a student with memorization difficulties. These tools can be used for all students. (elementary school)

Specific heat capacity lesson, including equation of specific heat capacity definition with calculation questions and answers, plus internal energy definition physics. The lesson objectives are as follows: Define internal energy and how it is affected by heat, state the factors that affect the change in thermal energy of a system and apply the equation and the concept of specific heat capacity to problems. The slides are fully animated and include answers to every mini plenary question and exam question. The breakdown of the slides is as follows: Slide 1 - Title and 5-minute starter. The starter is a grid of four questions entitled ‘last week, last lesson, today’s learning and future learning’. Use this generic slide for all of your lessons by simply changing the questions and the answers each time. Slide 2 - Lesson objectives (see above) Slide 3 - Recap of definition of system and introduction to definition of internal energy Slide 4 - Explanation of what happens to the internal energy when heat is applied to the system Slide 5 - Mini plenary. 4 questions of increasing difficulty that test definitions and explanations that students have just learnt. Answers animate onto the screen Slide 6 - Introduction to the factors that affect the change in thermal energy of a system Slide 7 - Mini plenary. Random name animation used to test pupils’ recall of the factors that affect the change in thermal energy in a system Slide 8 - Introduction to specific heat capacity equation with the units. All parts animate onto the screen at your leisure Slide 9 - Worked example 1 SHC calcuation with step-by-step answer animation Slide 10 - Worked example 2 SHC calcuation with step-by-step answer animation Slide 11 - Mini plenary. SHC calculation 3-mark exam question with mark scheme answer animating onto screen. Slide 12 - Explanation of why specific heat capacity is important, linking to its definition, i.e. useful to know as it can help people decide the best materials to use for buildings or cooking utensils Slide 13 - Comparison of SHC of iron and SHC of wood. Iron’s SHC is much lower - what does this actually mean? All explained on this slide, which will help students frame their knowledge in a relevant context. Slide 14 - Mini plenary to test last lesson objective (apply the concept of specific heat capacity to problems) Slide 15 - ALT (Applied learning time). 6 mark synthesis exam question: “A student investigated the specific heat capacity of metals. Describe an experiment the student could do to measure the specific heat capacity of a metal.” Guidance animates onto the screen and then disappears, such as the need for a joulemeter.

This pack of 13 pages contains grids to support: Long multiplication for 2 by 2 digits Rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 Vertical number line 2 differentiated place value boards to aid multiplying and dividing by multiples of 10 and aligning sums correctly Bus stop division with remainder Bus stop division with decimal answers All boards except the vertical number line come with an instruction sheet to guide how to use the board. Please note that I have also provided a grid for long multiplication 2 digits by 1 digit, which is available as a free download to try out. I have developed these boards through my work with students with difficulties in maths including dyscalculia. I have found these structured guides support learning and allow processes to be understood. They aid students to learn using this scaffolding approach, which can be taken away when they feel more confident. These boards are ideal for laminating so they can be used repeatedly.
