Development of the Atomic Model

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Development of the Model of the Atom for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics / Chemistry. Exam Spec: This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Combined Science 6.4.1.3, Physics 4.4.1.3, and Chemistry: 4.1.1.3. 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. This high quality lesson includes 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 video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • 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 (or just delete those bits if you don’t). Learning objectives: Describe how new experimental evidence may lead to a scientific model being changed or completely replaced. Describe how our model of the atom has changed over time because of: The discovery of the electron. The alpha scattering experiment. The discoveries of energy levels, protons and neutrons. Describe the alpha scattering experiment, and the new evidence it produced. Explain why the evidence from the alpha scattering experiment changed the model of the atom. Describe the plum pudding model of the atom and why it changed. Describe the differences between the plum pudding model and the nuclear model of the atom. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

The other lessons in this topic are: Magnets and Magnetism: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12592689 Electromagnets and Electromagnetism: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12595426 The Motor Effect and Left Hand Rule: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12596435 The Generator Effect: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12600640 AC, DC, Alternators, Dynamos, Microphones & Loudspeakers: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12609865 Transformers and the National Grid: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12610433 Discounted Bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12610445 What’s Included: Two Starters with answers Explanation slides in five “chunked” sections using animated diagrams Editable diagrams and animations which help aid understanding. Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each of the five “chunked” sections contains a set of “quick” questions and a set of “in-depth” questions. Exam-style questions - these are uniquebased on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards (in fact there aren’t many exam questions available from the exam boards for this yet) Answers for all questions All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. Slightly humourous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Explain how the generator effect is used in an alternator to generate AC and in a dynamo to generate DC Draw and interpret graphs of potential difference generated in the coil against time. Explain how a moving-coil microphone and loudspeaker / headphone work. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

TES Author Sales Tracker and Analysis Tool

(0)
A ready-to-use tool to track and analyse your author sales on TES. This tool is simple (no need for Excel skills) but also powerful. The analysis that I was able to undertake using this tool allowed me to rapidly increase my TES sales from bronze to gold level. Watch the preview video to see how you can use it to grow your TES author business. Simply copy and paste the sales data from TES - the magic of Excel does the rest. Full instructions provided Summary Sheet: See the value of your sales, and the amount of your author royalty. See your average sales per day, and the date you can expect to get to the next tier. Analysis Sheets: See how often each resource has sold, the average price it sold for, and how much you have made from each resource. Spot what makes your best sellers more successful, which resources sell the most and which are most profitable (not always the same thing!). Spot which resources have stopped selling using the Title Sales by Week sheet. See the number of sales and the amount of royalty you made week by week - this is always nice when your business is growing! Work out the best times to promote and upload your sales with the sheets that analyse sales by day of the week, hour of the day and even by country. As this is just a normal spreadsheet there is no software to download and the spreadsheet should work fine on work issued laptops. Instructions are provided so that you can easily change the chart type (e.g. from a pie chart to a bar graph) on most sheets. There are filters on most sheets so that you can select a specific date range e.g. to ask “what are my biggest sellers this week?” For those more proficient in Excel the spreadsheet is not locked so you can easily build upon what is already provided.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Competition in Plants and Animals for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. 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. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. The lesson goes into a lot of depth and takes learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity (with answers) • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section 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. Learning objectives: Describe why organisms have to compete for resources. Describe what factors organisms compete for. Suggest what factors organisms are competing for in specific situations. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications and to KS3.

Learning objectives: Describe how nuclear radiation is used in medicine to explore internal organs and to control or destroy unwanted tissue. Explain why a specific radioactive source is most suitable for a given situation based on the type of radiation it emits and its half life. Explain why the hazards associated with a radioactive source is related to its half life. Describe what is meant by “background radiation” and its natural and artificial sources. Describe how we measure radiation dose. Explain why factors such as location and occupation can affect background radiation and radiation dose.
