Single Science Lesson on Density and the Particle Model

Single Science GCSE only. For combined double award click here for density and here for particles.
…
Learning Objectives

• Use the particle model to explain density differences between the three states of matter
• Calculate density from mass and volume
• Describe how to find the volume of different substances including using a eureka can for irregularly shaped objects

…
All Lessons Contain

• Starter activity (retrieval practice/recall)
• Teach/Check/Practice (I do/We do/You do) cycles with tasks which demonstrate that the learning objectives have been met in student books
• Check phases are compatible with cold-calling, mini-white boards or can be delivered as quick quizzes in books.
• Practice phases encourage writing in full sentences using correct vocabulary and phrasing
• Opportunities for assessment for learning and independent practice with scaffolded tasks building to independence.
• Self-assessment answer slides
• Challenge extension work for higher ability students
• SEND adaptations: lessons are chunked to avoid working memory overload, blue background for Irlens, word banks are provided, text is broken up for dyslexia and a consistent format is followed for ASD.
• Careers are integrated into the lesson. Careers links have a gold star in the corner to identify them easily
