This is a lesson aimed at the NEW AQA Trilogy 'Particle models of matter' SoW for the new Physics specification. The lesson begins by recapping on the definitions of melting point, boiling point and freezing point. Pupils will also be asked to consider why salt is added to a pan of water or to roads which may become icy to get them thinking about how impurities can affect the melting/boiling point of a substance. This then leads on to the introduction of a temperature-time graph demonstrating changes in state, pupils will need to sketch the graph and then match statements to the correct numbered step on the graph. The next slide introduces the idea of latent heat, this will be explored in more detail in a separate lesson. In the next activity pupils will use data to produce a graph and then answer questions on the data they have produced. The plenary activity is a past-paper question, mark scheme provided for pupils to peer-assess their work.

This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 C1.1 ’Particles & their Behaviour’ For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. This lesson starts with a video animation on melting and freezing, along with written definitions that students could use to take notes down in their books. This leads into a task whereby students need to explain what is happening to the particle arrangement of a solid as it melts in a liquid, and of a liquid as it turns back into a solid during freezing. Students will watch a video first, then will have a go at coming up with their written explanations. Their answers can then be checked against the ones included in the PowerPoint presentation, students can mark and correct their work. Next, students are introduced to the idea of pure and impure substances are an explanation of how this affects the melting point of a substance is included. Students can investigate the melting point of stearic acid by carrying out a practical investigation, the equipment list and method for this investigation is included on the PowerPoint for students to follow. Their results should be recorded in a suitable table and can be plotted onto graph paper as an extension task. Next, students are given a diagram of the changes of state and are asked to draw a particle diagram for each of the states of matter, to show the transition between the states. This work can be self-assessed using the answers provided. Lastly, students will be asked to complete a ‘Progress Check’ task to assess what they have learned so far this lesson. The mark scheme for this task is included on the PowerPoint. The plenary is a ‘pick a plenary’ task, students can either summarise what they have learned so far this lesson in three sentences or write definitions for a set of key words. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This task is designed for the NEW AQA A-Level Biology. Included in this resource is a ‘revision placemat’ for Ecology. Concepts covered include: adaptation, food chains, taxonomy, and decomposition. Pupils will also discuss carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, acid rain, deforestation, and eutrophication. There are 16 revision questions in total. Pupils may use their books if necessary but should test their knowledge by attempting to answer all questions from memory first. The solution for this activity is also included so you can check their answers, or they may self-assess.

This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 P1 ’Forces’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. This lesson starts with a recap on the differences between contact and non-contact forces. Students are given a list of forces and a variety of pictures, they need to match the correct name of the force with the correct picture and decide whether this is a contact or non-contact force. This task can self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. Students are now introduced to the concept of a ‘reaction force’, with examples of a ball hitting the floor and a person walking along the ground. Students are shown a particle diagram to demonstrate what is happening. Next, students are introduced to the idea of an elastic cord or spring being affected by ‘extension’ and ‘tension’ forces. To assess students knowledge of what they have learned so far they will complete a progress check, a set of questions which students can answer in their books. This task can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. The last part of the lesson will look at Hooke’s law, students will conduct an investigation where they will investigate Hooke’s law. This practical involves students adding 1 Newton weights to a hanger which is attached to an elastic band. Every time a new weight is added, the distance between two marked point on the elastic band is measured. Students should carry out the investigation, record their results in a the table and then plot a graph of their results. Hopefully, students will draw a linear graph and be able to identify what Hooke’s law is from their results. Students can check their work against the results provided in the PowerPoint. Finally, students are asked to complete a ‘Sentence Link-Up’ task, this is a literacy task which requires students to link three words in a summary sentence. This work can be self-assessed once it is complete using the answers provided on the PowerPoint. The plenary requires students to write three quiz questions to test their knowledge of what they have learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.
