Half-Life Calculations - SLOP Worksheet with Worked Examples and Answers

This ready-to-use resource will give your students extensive independent practice to master Half-Life calculations. Many schemes of work understandably focus on Half-life graphs, however in the current AQA specification (Combined Science Trilogy: 6.4.2.3, Physics: 4.4.2.3), worded calculations using the concept of half-life are a frequent feature. Do your students get enough practice answering this type of question?

The Shed Loads of Practice worksheet features 3 fully worked examples, determining half-life, age of a sample and a sample’s initial mass with accompanying slides modelling a structured approach in a “we do” format. 9 independent practice “you do” questions then follow, building in demand and variety, developing your student’s skills.

You can plug and play this resource into your SoW, every Resistance Physics resource incorporates full answer slides ready to project with ease plus full solution sheets to allow for your choice of purple/green penning self-assessment or peer-assessment.

Designed for independent practice or classroom use, the worksheet could easily be supplied for cover, intervention or revision
