BrainJarBrainJar

Bundle: Particle Model of Matter

8 Resources
See preview videos. Complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers on Particle Model of Matter (6.3 / 4.3) for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview videos show a representative sample of slides from the resources so that you get a good idea of what they include before you buy. Note: This bundle was previously based on the teaching order in the textbook and was called “Molecules and Matter” and did not include specific heat capacity. I have changed it to fit the order in the specification rather than the textbook. Please download it again for free if you purchased it previously. Lessons Included in this no-prep bundle: Density States of Matter, Kinetic Theory, Changes of State Latent Heat, Heating and Cooling Curves / Graphs Internal Energy Specific Heat Capacity Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation Gas Pressure and Temperature Gas Pressure and Volume A typical lesson includes: Two Starter / Do Now activities so you can extend this over two lessons if needs be. Starter / Do Now Activity Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. Worked examples of calculations. Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. Answers for all questions All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. All of the above are applicable to both AQA (9-1) Combined Science and Physics but are very likely to be fully applicable for other exam boards. Some lessons are not required for Combined Science, so I have included them at no extra cost.

Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
