GCSE Physics - Half-Life Calculations Worksheet - Worked Examples and Solutions

AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science | Half-Life Calculations Worksheet | Worded Questions with Answer Slides

Give your students the extensive independent practice needed to master Half-Life calculations with this focused practice worksheet. While many schemes of work focus on Half-Life graphs, worded calculations using the concept of Half-Life are a frequent feature of both Foundation and Higher Tier AQA papers - This resource will help you fill that gap.

Suitable for Foundation and Higher Tier Separate Physics (4.4.2.3 Half-Lives and the Random Nature of Radioactive Decay) and Combined Science (6.4.2.3) students preparing for Paper 1.

What’s Included:

• Editable and ready-to-print worksheet — 3 worked examples + 9 independent practice calculations (.doc and .pdf)
• Ready-to-print solution document (.doc and .pdf)
• PowerPoint slide deck walkthrough of all worked examples and solutions (.ppt)
  
  Designed to help you to:
• Save time with a ready to use classroom, homework, cover or revision activity
• Model excellence with 3 “we do” worked examples covering determining Half-Life, the age of a sample and a sample’s initial mass, scaffolding students into 9 “you do” independent practice questions.
• Ensure progress with questions that increase in demand and variety, building from straightforward Half-Life determination through to more complex worded calculations
• Build your scheme of work to include more independent practice of an often missed skill
• Feedback without fuss by either projecting solutions for whole-class green penning or handing out the answer sheets for peer or self-assessment.
  
  Could also be adapted for Edexcel and OCR, or for intervention, booster or revision sessions.
