This lesson is on Charlesâ law for KS4.
It covers temperature, KE, the Kelvin scale, and absolute zero.
Students also learn how to convert between Kelvin and degrees Celsius (centigrade) and vice versa.
It then moves on to the relationship between temperature and volume and calculating temperatures and volumes using Charlesâ Law.
Also covers all the key language. Well organised and succinct with clearly made key points and well chosen images.
This lesson explains the material in an easy to understand way.
Provides an excellent ready to use lesson on this topic, or it can easily be adapted if you wish.

KS3 Energy and conservation of energy - complete lesson, ready to use, pick up and go.
This KS3 lesson teaches energy stores in the new way required for GCSE 9-1 spec - so it builds the correct foundation for KS4. This supports good student progress and avoids confusing them by teaching them the old ideas about energy at KS3 (e.g. light is an energy store, sound is energy etc) and then the new ones at GCSE (9-1 specification).
By the end of the lesson learners will
(ALL) Understand what energy is.
(ALL) Know the unit of energy.
(ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements)
(MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them.
(MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another
(SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy.
What do you get?
Complete and ready to use lesson that includes:
Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS.
Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS.
Two carefully chosen videos
Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc.
Helpsheet
Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians)

I find that this PowerPoint and its varied and interesting activities keep lower level students engaged while allowing differentiation for higher achievers â see below for details. Iâm sure youâll find it useful.
This lesson is 5 in a series of 5 that fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the âlightâ topic.
For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons.
STARTER
Pupils become engaged in the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve 5 anagrams to find out what todayâs lesson is about (you could offer a prize for the winners). After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson.
MAIN
Homework is set and then students use the activity sheet (built into the PowerPoint â you just print it out) to work in pairs and label different parts of the eye, differentiation - higher ability explain the function of the parts. This can be self or peer assessed using the answers on the slide in the PowerPoint.
MAIN
Students undertake a matching activity to match the names of parts of the eye to their functions. This can be peer marked, and returned so that students can correct any errors / improve their work.
MAIN
Students recall the colours in the spectrum of white light, and this is developed into looking at the frequencies of the light and the relationship between colour and frequency. A gap fill activity promotes understanding of several key points and is self-assessed.
MAIN
Students watch a (carefully selected) short video that explain how our eyes see colour and then they have fun watching another video that tests their individual ability to see colours.
PLENARY
Students answer 5 questions by matching and then self-assess their understanding of the desired outcomes of todayâs lesson now they have reached the end of the lesson. They compare their final understanding to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to improve their learning of the content covered today.
EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years.
All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but print the activity sheet (if required) and enjoy teaching it.
Thank you for looking, your feedback would be much appreciated! :)

Save Christmas! This is a very entertaining, complete and ready to use, Christmas lesson full of fun activities. It also includes a fully scaffolded activity where students build and fire simple catapults made from lolly (popsicle) sticks. This is done in the classroom (no need to go outside). You do NOT need to know how to build the catapult, the lesson carefully guides students so they can have the joy of discovering how to do it with or without your help !
A story about an invasion of zombie Santas is told. Christmas is in jeopardy! The learners have to try to defeat the zombie horde, find a cure for the infected and save Christmas. All instructions are included and the lesson teaches the learners almost automatically, any of us can give this fun and imaginative lesson. How can we stop the zombie horde? How do we cure the zombies turning them back into people? Can your class save Christmas?
The length of the lesson is very flexible depending on your needs. There are activities you can miss out and there is also a Christmas cracker based extension you can add in. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 0.5 hours and 1.5 hours depending on your requirements.
This lesson gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them happy, focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. Thereâs nothing like zombies to capture the imagination of students! It's a great lesson that teachers of any subject can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won't go out of date (like a quiz might) so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and includes: literacy, numeracy, SMSC, team working skills, questions with answers, physical coordination skills, activities with answers, play ball game, joke telling etc
High quality, ready to use lesson - great for teachers of all subjects!
Happy teaching !
