I must admit! That I am not entirely sure where these lessons have come (I am not claiming ownership) from but I have been using them in my classes, having checked them over and used them in my planning. I will slowly replace them as the term goes on.
Paper 1 (Topics P1-P7)
P1 - Conservation and dissipation of Energy
P2 - Heat energy transfer by heating
Students will learn how energy is transferred and infrared radiation. They will learn how to reduce the rate of energy transfer, especially in the home and how to calculate specific heat capacity. Students will be able to discuss the ways in which homes are heated.
P3- Energy resources
Students will learn about how energy demands are met and the fuels used to generate electricity. They will learn about how wind, water, the sun and Earth can be used to generate electricity and the impact of different fuels on the environment.
P4 - Electricity
Students will learn how to calculate the charge flow in an electric circuit. They will learn how to calculate the resistance and potential difference in circuits.
P5- Electricity in the home
Students will learn about mains electricity and how to calculate the power of an appliance.
P6- Molecules and matter
Students will learn about the properties of the states of matter and what is meant by melting and boiling point. They will learn about internal energy and specific latent heat. Students will be able to explain how gases create pressure and how pressure changes the volume of a gas. Students will be able to complete pressure equations.
P7- Radioactivity
Students will learn about the structure of the atom and sub-atomic particles. They will learn how an unstable nucleus changes when it emits radiation and why the radiation it emits is harmful. Students will learn about nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
Paper 2 (Topics P8-P16)
P8- Forces in balance
Students will learn the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity. They will learn how to find the resultant of two forces and how to resolve a force into perpendicular components. Students will learn about moments and how to find the centre of mass of an object.
P9- Forces in motion
Students will learn the difference between speed and velocity and what we mean by acceleration. They will learn to draw and interpret distance-time and velocity-time graphs.
P10- Forces and motion
Students will learn how to investigate the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. They will learn what is meant by terminal velocity and the difference between mass and weight. Students will learn about the conservation of momentum and investigate how a spring behaves when it is stretched.
P11- Forces and properties
Students will learn about pressure on surfaces and pressure in fluids.
P12 Wave properties
Students will learn about transverse and longitudinal waves and how to describe them. They will learn about sound waves, ultrasound and seismic waves.
P13- Electromagnetic waves
Students will learn about the electromagnetic spectrum. They will learn how these waves are used in communications and how they are used to form images.
P14- Light
Students will learn about the reflection and refraction of light and how lenses can be used to form images.
P15- Electromagnetism
electromagnetic fields. They will learn about the motor effect, the generator effect and transformers.
P16- Space physics
Students will learn about the formation of the Solar System and the life history of a star.
They will learn about the beginning and the future of the Universe.
