GCSE Science – Schemes of Work Physics Unit 1: Physics 1 Spec Reference | Summary of the Specification Content | Learning Outcomes What most candidates should be able to do | Suggested timing (hours) | Opportunities to develop Scientific Communication skills | Opportunities to develop and apply Practical and Enquiry skills | Self/Peer assessmentOpportunities & resourcesreference to past questions that indicate success | P1.1 The transfer of energy by heating processes and the factors that affect the rate at which that energy is transferred Energy can be transferred from one place to another by work or by heating processes. We need to know how this energy is transferred and which heating processes are most important in a particular…show more content…
| Draw simple diagrams to model the difference between solids, liquids and gases.Describe the states of matter in terms of the energy of their particles. | 2 | Presenting and writing descriptions and explanationsDescribe changes of state in terms of a particle modelExplain how properties of solids liquids and gases can be explained using the ideas of particles and energyCommunication for audience and purposeDesign a poster to illustrate the arrangement, movement and energy of the particles in solids, liquids and gases.Developing explanations using ideas and modelsGive pupils an opportunity to create their own models to explain change of state. | Planning an approachSelecting and managing variablesAssessing risk and working safelyIs toothpaste a liquid? Plan an investigation to test this.Does the temperature of oil affect its viscosity? Plan a safe investigation to test this. Working critically with secondary evidenceCan the boiling point of a liquid be altered? Pupils do some research to find out.Individual use/class demonstration of interactive kinetic theory modelling computer programme. | BBC learning zone web clip “change of state” Animation of particles P1.1.2 Kinetic theory powerpoint…show more content…
