GCSE Atomic Structure (C1)

These lessons cover all required lesson content for the AQA GCSE Atomic Structure C1 topic.

This series of lessons specifically focuses on: elements and isotopes, calculating relative atomic mass, developing the model of the atom, states of matter, changes of state, mixtures and separating mixtures.

Each lesson has the following components:

Students answer the ‘Knowledge Checks’ questions on Mini White Boards and without their notes – this is to act as a retrieval practice task and assess whether students are ready to move onto and learn the content of the lesson.
*The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. *

The re-teach slide is positioned within each lesson to allow the teacher to immediately re-address any misconceptions or re-teach any sections that students are not able to recall from the ‘Knowledge Check’ questions.

Students answer the ‘Check for Understanding’ questions on Mini White Boards and without any notes or their exercise books open.
*The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. *

The ‘Independent Practice’ questions are completed in student exercise books - with the students working silently and independently.
Answers to practice questions are included within the presentation and are revealed one at a time to help students self/peer mark their answers.
