U Values
RahmichRahmich

U Values

(0)
To understand that the rate of heat transfer rely on several things;, temperature difference, area of surface and surface type To be able to define U value as the property of a surface to transfer heat. Calculate energy used using U values
Energy in the Home
RahmichRahmich

Energy in the Home

(0)
Explain how heat is lost from the home or how heat enters the home when we don’t want it to. State ways we can reduce heat transfer in the home. Explain how cavity walls and double glazing reduce heat transfer

(0)
Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Global Warming and discuss why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ State that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gases and explain how it may contribute to climate change. Settler: Starter: Demonstration:
Distillation of Air
RahmichRahmich

Distillation of Air

(0)
Learning Objectives ✤ Understand that liquids can be separated by distillation according to their boiling points. ✤ Describe the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air by fractional distillation Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Can show the oxygen in the jar demo with the water rising then ask the kids to explain why this demo does not show that the air is 20% oxygen as they are often taught but is due to pressure differences instead. Practical: Main 1: Use ppt. Main 2: AFL: Most pupils will struggle with the concept but can be used as an introduction to year 10 - use questions from year 10 textbook to assess. Homework

Rock Cycle Assessed task

(0)
Learning Objectives Be able to describe the rock cycle as continuous process that takes place over millions of years. Relate the rock cycle as a type of recycling Revise the whole rock cycle
Metamorphic Rocks
RahmichRahmich

Metamorphic Rocks

(0)
Learning Objectives Be able to name some metamorphic rocks Be able to describe how metamorphic rocks are formed Settler: Starter: Test knowledge from previous lesson. Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: See lesson sheet Main 2: AFL: Splat in lesson sheet Homework
Sedimentary Rocks
RahmichRahmich

Sedimentary Rocks

(0)
Learning Objectives Be able to name some sedimentary rocks Explain the processes of weathering, transportation, deposition, sedimentation, cementation Use particle diagrams to explain cementation. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Demonstration of sedimentary rock sandwich and metamorphic toastie You can do the transportation pipe demo but it isn't very good. Practical: Main 1: Main 2: EITHER: Pupils descibe the sandwich model and explain how it is different. We could compare each others answers to see wether we have learned this OR: Pupils undertake construction company exercise 15 minutes and 5 minutes of discussion at the end. Need to address issues with the vocabulary, many misconceptions come from geography. about weathering and erosion. AFL: Homework Metamorphic rocks worksheet
Weathering
RahmichRahmich

Weathering

(0)
Learning Objectives To describe the three types of weathering, Biological, physical and chemical. To be able to give examples of all three types of weathering. To link the weathering process to the landscape. Use particle diagrams to explain weathering Settler: Starter: Demonstration/Main 1: Draw diagrams to represent the three types of weathering on the board if you are not confident use the textbook. Pupils need to be able to use particle diagrams - in this case particle means rock pieces of any size. Practical: Show the frozen rock breaking demo as an example of freeze thaw. Main 2: Link to the landscapes of Qatar, erratics etc. AFL: Show photos of different types of weathering and ask pupils to identify them
