Complete lesson based on the Electromagnetic Spectrum topic of the AQA Physics/Trilogy new specification GCSE course, also known as P13.1 from the Nelson Thornes text books.
This lesson contains:
Starter
See slide notes for this starter, but a demonstration of one of the non-visible parts of the EM spectrum. This is a demonstration the students can do at home also.
Main
Self learning task, known as the market place activity. This is an excellent activity to showcase group work, peer learning, peer teaching and cooperation. I have used this activity with all ability groups and find it works brilliantly with all. Low ability groups will need more support, but they will probably gain more from the activity. All resources that you should need are contained within this lesson.
Plenary
Students either complete an exam question or some short answer questions (all with answers), or both, depending on the ability of your groups and the time you have remaining
P2.1.1 - Distance Time Graphs
Worksheets for calculations of speed (answers included), chance for students to draw distance time graphs, interpretation of distance time graphs.
Using ramps and cars the students plan their investigation using the planning sheet, and then carry out the investigation. This can all be done in one lesson.
I then set them the task of writing up the investigation (using the level ladder) as homework, but could be done in a subsequent lesson
