B13.1 variation and evolution

(0)
Aimed at a low ability class. Starter Activity Stick in objective sheets for this topic. Starter question what makes each person different. Extension task: why do we look different Main – Literacy task, focus on the key word variation: write a definition, then write their own sentence using it, then draw a picture to show the key word also Draw a venn diagram and decide if the variation is genetic, environmental or both. Highlight what genetic means Go through answers and discuss why students have put it there Think, pair, share, what similarities and differences would twins have if they were separated at birth Answer questions about twins using data provided Plenary Recap tick grid, which features are due to the environment, genes or both

P12.1 Electromagnetic spectrum

(0)
Aimed at low ability students. Targets of level 4. Starter task, green pen. Revision from previous topics Main – Recap types of waves, and key points from last topic, students fill in the gaps. Explain journey of the wave focusing on the wave is coming from a source and being absorbed Students stick in EM spectrum, label their spectrum as you go through and label key properties. Extension question for students if other students are slow to label Chart with uses of EM waves, to engage and show students we use these all the time, they will study these in future lessons. Discuss visible light and explain this is the only wavelength that can be seen, mention wavelengths of visible light A very annoying, yet catchy video, to try and reinforce the order of the waves. Worksheet from kerboodle physics foundation workbook P.77. Recap learning for the day and summaries the lesson. Extension: wavelength question practice (answers for worksheet and extension are available on the slides) Green pen answers, Plenary Verbal plenary questions: try and list the EM waves in order from longest to shortest without books.
