Radiation in Medicine & Background Radiation

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Radiation in Medicine & Background Radiation for AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.4.3 (i.e. 4.4.3.1, 4.4.3.2, 4.4.3.3) which are required for GCSE Physics only and not combined science. 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. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • 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. 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. 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!

Bundle: Waves Topic (GCSE Physics)

16 Resources
Bundle of 16 complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers on Waves for AQA GCSE Physics (9-1) , covering the complete topic. This bundle contatins all the lessons needed for the Waves topic in AQA GCSE Physics. If you only need the lessons for AQA Combined Science then there is a smaller bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12706442 As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner 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 each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included in each lesson: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions.where applicable • 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. The lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
