Students are introduced to the different senses and what stimulus they detect. Students then plan and carry out an investigation looking at sensitivity. There is a planning sheet to help students, plus marking sheets should you wish to extend this project over a couple of lessons
Lesson starts with introducing the photon, then the work of Einstein and the theory behind photoelectricity. Students are prompted throughout the lesson to complete various parts on the worksheet (answers included in the powerpoint). There is then a chance to complete an exam question, and the lesson finishes with a 10 word story about the lesson.
This lesson was graded outstanding by an external observer.
Lesson introduces the ways in which ionisation can occur, giving the students opportunities to answer the questions on the worksheet. Students are then presented with a game to play which consolidates all the calculations they have done prior to this.
Lesson starts with a recap on the previous lesson
Then moves on to the wave particle duality. Videos are used for this, but cannot be included due to copyright reasons so you will have to find your own for this.

Lesson will guide them through the theory behind refraction, then get them to exercise this with a practical. There are two worksheets to help with this, one easy and one more difficult. A good P3 extension included with the main task.
Starter to get them thinking about velocity and speed and a recap on distance time graphs
Main 1 - Acceleration calculations, with answers
Main 2 - Velocity time graph worksheet
Extension exam questions and mark scheme included
Plenary, compare d/t and v/t graphs
Covers a vast array of the P2 content.
Mixture of student led lessons, teacher led lessons, active lessons, calculation based. A variety to keep the teachers happy and the students busy.
Students arrive prior to the lesson have completed their pre reading
Students then complete a circus of activities.
