GCSE Science / Physics - Nuclear Fission (PowerPoint and Lesson Plan)

(1)
GCSE Science / Physics - Nuclear Fission (PowerPoint and Lesson Plan) This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining nuclear fission. This is the twelfth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the basic idea of splitting the atomic nucleus from neutron capture and expressing this as a diagram and nuclear equation. Chain reactions, nuclear bombs and nuclear power are also used to discuss fission in context. The good and bad aspects of fission are used to stimulate a discussion with a differentiated task list for pupils to then create work of their own on the topic. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching this topic as well as ideas to assist the teacher in differentiating the lesson and setting homework; a PowerPoint also supports the lesson. Updated March 2017 (Corrected mass numbers on fission diagram)

BTec Engineering - Combining Sinusoidal Waveforms (PowerPoint)

(0)
This is an 15 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of combining sinusoidal waveforms. This lessons starts with a graphical representation of waveforms for AC voltage, and shows how a resultant wave is formed from two sinusoidal waveforms. This is then extended to a graphical solution method, using vectors for phasors, and then a mathematical method using the cosine and sine rules to add two wave equations together. This is the second PowerPoint in this section (Single phase alternating current). v1.01 (Dec 2021 ) - Minor improvements
