Atoms and Atomic Structure: Parts 1 and 2 - Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford Model

(0)
This resource is broken up into 2 parts. These 2 parts covers many of the important models of the atom. From Democritus and Dalton to Thomson and Rutherford. Part 1 includes 31 slides that covers the early models of the atom. This includes Democritus, Aristotle, and John Dalton and Dalton's atomic theory. An interactive quiz to review the topic is included at the end of the lesson. Part 2 is a highly visual 57-slide powerpoint. These activities engages learners to rediscover JJ Thomson's cathode ray tube experiment and visualise the "plum pudding" model of the atom. The second half details Rutherford's gold foil experiment and the discovery of the nucleus. A crossword puzzle and summary sheet to revise both Part 1 and Part 2 are also provided. I hope you find these lessons useful. Please rate and comment. Thank you.

Rocks, minerals, soil, rock cycle, weathering, erosion, types of rocks KS2 KS3 science

(0)
This resource includes a highly visual 34-slide PowerPoint presentation, scaffolded notes for pupils, and a worksheet. In this resource, pupils will learn... 1) to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties 2) to recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter 3) the rock cycle and the formation of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks 4) to understand how cooling and solidifying of magma results in formation of igneous rocks. 
 5) to understand that sedimentary rocks are made by processes which include the deposition of rock fragments or organic material, or as a result of evaporation. 
 6) to understand how rock fragments are transported by flowing water or wind, and how grain size affects transport and settling of sediment; understand how landscape can be eroded. 
 7) to understand that metamorphic rocks are formed by action of heat and pressure on existing rocks. 
 8) to understand the meaning of the term ‘mineral’. 
 9) to know how forces generated by expansion, contraction and the freezing of water can lead to the physical weathering of rocks. 
 10) to know the different layers of a soil profile I hope you find this resource helpful.

KS3 Physics: SOUND and HEARING PowerPoint Only - waves, frequency, amplitude, ultrasound, the ear

(0)
This resource includes a 56 slide PowerPoint presentation. • Includes sound clips to bring the learning to life • Animations have been thoughtfully used to promote participation from lower achieving students and discussion from higher ability ones. • 26 learning outcomes listed below By the end of these lessons, pupils will: 1. recognise that sound is made by objects that vibrate 2. define that the frequency of vibration of the source is measured in Hertz (Hz) 3. discuss how sound is made in different musical instruments 4. know that a vibrating source causes the layers of air around it to move 5. discover that sound travels by compressing and expanding the surroundings 6. express that sound travels as a longitudinal wave 7. discover that sound travels best through solids and worst through gases because of the arrangement of the particles 8. explore the relative speed of sound in different mediums 9. explain that sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no molecules 10. know that sound waves detected by the ear cause the ear drum to vibrate 11. explore the structure of the ear 12. describe how sound is transmitted through the ear to the brain 13. know that different people have different ranges of hearing 14. know that the average human range of hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz 15. define that loudness is measured in decibels (dB's) 16. discuss that 0 dB is the threshold of hearing and 130 dB's is the threshold of pain whilst 140 dB's causes damage 17. discuss that loud sounds can have permanent and temporary effect on the ear 18. discuss some common causes of ear damage 19. define that noise is unwanted sound 20. discover that a loud sound is produced by a large vibration and vice versa 21. discover that a high pitched sound is produced by a very frequent (quick) vibration and vice versa 22. know that an microphone can change sound to electricity and that this can then be displayed on an oscilloscope 23. know that the wave displayed on an oscilloscope is a transverse wave 24. demonstrate how to identify the amplitude, the wavelength and the frequency of a wave 25. recognise the link between the loudness of the sound and the amplitude of the wave 26. recognise the link between the pitch of the sound and the frequency/wavelength of the wave

Molar Mass by Freezing Point Depression Lab Experiment, Boiling Point Elevation, Molality Lesson

(0)
This 33-slide PowerPoint presentation introduces students to the concept of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. It also includes a worksheet in which students can take notes and practice the skills learned during the lesson. • First, students will review what happens when a liquid freezes and when it boils. • Then, a discussion about how adding a nonvolatile solute would affect the freezing and boiling process. • Molality will be introduced followed by practice problems. • The freezing point depression and boiling point elevation formulas will be introduced with examples for students to work out. • Finally, a practical investigation to work out the molar mass of an unknown solute by using freezing point depression will be outlined with an example calculation. I hope you find this useful.
