Energy identification: lesson 13 - forces and energy

(0)
The lesson starts by assessing baseline knowledge by reviewing the meaning of energy. There is then a card sort which involves associating the energy with pictures to act as a memory prompt. There is a short video to push the students to identify forces and reviewing their knowledge. The lesson has an AFL task embedded in it to direct learning, this leads to 3 different task, two on the attached KO and one Cloze activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

This is the end of unit test that assesses learning the the series of work. There is a grade converter to give and accurate idea of the 9-1 grades these student would currently be working at. There is a flight path to assess whether the student is on track or not.

Six Outstanding lessons on Electricity

Electricity This mini scheme of work builds through the basics need for students preparing for GCSE science. It starts very basic with building series and parallel circuits and builds up to looking at currents and electron flow, topics necessary for the new 2017 GCSE. Lesson 1: Drawing and building simple circuits Lesson 2: Comparing series and parallel circuits Lesson 3: Comparing current and voltage Lesson 4: Experimenting to see how current flows Lesson 5: Conduction in different materials Lesson 6: Demonstrating learning with a team building challenge This resources has had over 12000 downloads on TES resources and rated 5*.

Forces and energy lesson 5 and 6 - remediation, revision and meta-cognition (Roediger, 2011)

(0)
These are not stand alone lesson however a powerful way to secure knowledge for students who are participating in a mastery scheme of work. Utilising short answer testing is a good way to ensure that the key knowledge is learned if interested pleases read Roediger 2011, it is a really insightful study to the benefits of testing; I now included a short answer assessment of this format approximately every 6 lessons and have been observed teaching this format by an Ofsted inspector who rated the lesson outstanding (not that we do that anymore). Lesson 5 consists of the dedicated improvement and reflection time (DIRT) from the previous lesson, this is followed by a review of the RAGed learning outcomes using the knowledge organiser to guide their revision. The lesson concludes by the student attempting a 15 mark short answer assessment with a structured self assessed feedback template. Lesson 6 starts by looking at ways to revise and allows the teacher to model how to revise. The lesson then moves on the students trying to revise themselves before resitting a very similar test to demonstrate to the pupils that they can make progress by revising. The lesson concludes with a self assessment.
Electricity and Waves - Lesson 5 Frequency

Electricity and Waves - Lesson 5 Frequency

(0)
This lesson is intended for KS3 to give a basic understanding to key Edexcel 2016 GCSE. The lesson starts by reviewing the previous exit ticket (this can easily be changed). A signal generator is needed to demonstrate what pitch/ frequency and volume sound like, this is an ideal opportunity to get students standing around a desk and push the conversation and questions. The main part of the lesson is a SOLO Taxonomy task (not labelled as SOLO but progressive in difficulty). Students show their progress by putting their name on a post-it note and moving it along the the task progress line, this shows the teacher which student to target and demonstrates outstanding differentiation. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Forces and Energy: Lesson 3 Speed, Distance, Time.

(0)
Lesson 3 SDT is designed for all abilities in year 8. The lesson has GCSE focused questions to ensure that the long term goals of the students are established. The lesson caters for all abilities by utilising micro teaching and hinge-point questions, the use of HPQ directs learning depending on the understanding at vital point at the lesson; this determines whether the student attempts gold, silver, bronze tasks. There is a purple extension task to push the high on entry students. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Forces and Energy Lesson 4 - measuring friction

(0)
The lesson is aimed at early KS3 and is based on Edexcel GCSE spec. The Do it Now task is a review and identification of forces that should have been learned in previous lessons. The experiment is then demonstrated for the students before the students get the chance to perform and record their own results in a differentiated results table (one just has to have numbers recorded the other as place to work out averages for more mathematically able students. The students are then required to draw a graph, this is extensively modelled for them to ensure that it is achievable but yet challenging. The lesson concludes with a Cloze exit ticket.

Here are 4 differentiated worksheets on speed distance time. Bronze worksheet: very basic unit and number manipulation in a scaffold-ed table. Silver worksheet: harder question than bronze yet still within a table structure. Gold worksheet: harder questions than silver with a more open style. Purple worksheet: Exam style open ended questions

Forces and Energy - Lesson 4 - speed, distance, time. Applied

The lesson start with a puzzle of lateral thinking for the students. It then goes on to model more complex SDT problems than lesson 3 involving unit conversions. As the students start to understand they move on to the bronze, silver, gold, purple activities with in the 20 minutes. The learning is then demonstrated by calculating their own Speed before the lesson concludes with a true or false exit ticket.

This resource is not a stand alone resource rather should be purchased with any of The 'Forces and Energy' resources by razeitlin. The year 7 and year 8 learning outcome sheets feature all learning outcomes for the 6.5 week term. Aligned with the learning outcomes is space to record exit ticket scores, these scores are used to provide formative feedback to both the pupils and the teacher and reduce the need to extensive marking as the exit tickets are diagnostic of understanding. Next to the Exit ticket score is place for a RAGing of learning, this allows the students to customise their revision and feedback. The colour of the learning outcome related to the colour on the knowledge organiser, this allows student to take accountability for their own learning and progress as the knowledge organiser aims to close the feedback loop. The Knowledge organiser has questions on the reverse of it, again colour coded to the learning outcomes to make progress accessible.

Waves and Electricity is a scheme of work for year 8-9, it is engineered from the Edexcel 2016 GCSE therefore the spec points a prerequisites for start the GCSE. Lessons are highly differentiated and aimed for high ability to low ability. Much AFL is embedded with in the scheme, this includes hinge questions, short answer assessment an redraft for success. There is a sample of the work on the free downloads. type ' lesson 8 frequency calculations' Admin: this includes an exit ticket tracker, learning outcomes, and knowledge organiser. Lesson 0 - is an entry test to establish what is already understood by the students.

Forces and Energy - Lesson 5 - Distance Time graphs

(0)
The lesson start by establishing what the student know already about distance time graph. The lesson then moves onto modelling how to calculate speed from several examples on the graph. As an AFL opportunity there is an inbuilt hinge point question, diagnostic of understanding. The outcome of the HPQ directs student to a gold, silver or bronze task all based on the same graph. The students demonstrate their knowledge by drawing their own graph with an extension task if needed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Outstanding Lesson: Speed, distance, time (High quality AFL and differentiation)

(0)
The lesson starts with a simple assessment of students understanding of the concept of speed. The lesson then poses a GCSE question to challenge students before two different opportunities for the teacher to model how to calculate SDT. To assess the students learning I have embedded a hinge point question, this will redirect learning to the most appropriate task, e.g. gold, silver, bronze or the Purple extension. The lesson gives the student the opportunity to show of their new learning with a GCSE question before the lesson is concluded with an exit ticket.
