Monday group B 13.30
Friday group A 10.15
| Week number | Date | Lesson content | Lesson resources and links | Homework |
| 33 | 10.8 | First week of term - no lesson | ||
| 34 | 17.8 | Introduction to physics this year. Understanding heat and temperature - what are they ? How are they measured. Temperature scales. | Coping with physics sheet If you missed the lesson: this video explains the main concepts | This link |
| 35 | 24.8 | Heat and expansion. The particle model. How a liquid in glass thermometer works. | Temperature scales How an old thermometer works The Particle Model diagram Particle model explanation video Friday group lesson notes If you missed the lesson: watch the videos, and in your notebook explain how the thermometer works. Drawing the particle model diagram too may be useful for the test later. | No homework this week for the Wednesday group. Friday group click here |
| 36 | 31.8 | How does heat move ? Conduction, convection and radiation | If you missed the lesson: watch this video Heat transfer info video and take the notes from the lesson. Monday group lesson notes Friday group lesson notes | This link |
| 37 | 7.9 | Checking understanding of conduction, convection and radiation. Temperature survey. | Monday group lesson notes Friday group lesson notes If you missed the lesson: the notes will not be of much help as we went through the homework, checking understanding of the answers. We then did an experiment to compare different thermometers, and temperatures around the school. Make sure you do the homework activity to catch up. | This link |
| 38 | 14.9 | Heat loss from objects - planning an experiment | Monday group lesson notes Friday group lesson notes Thermal image Heat loss from a human body in cold weather Investigation planning sheet If you missed the lesson: check the notes for the lesson. The thermal image of the zebra leads to the idea that different colours cool differently as they radiate different amounts of heat energy. In the lesson we filled in -as a class- the first two parts of the planning sheet and then on Monday carried out an experiment. We will continue with the same experiment next time. The Friday group did not get time to start the experiment. | Complete this form |
| 39 | 21.9 | Experiment on heat loss from black and white objects. | Monday and Wednesday lesson notes. Carrying out the experiment started last lesson. Analysing the results. | Complete this form |
| 40 | 28.9 | Recapping the work done so far. Understanding variables. | lesson notes (Monday and Friday) Presentation on variables Video on variables | Finish the plan for the experiment 'Does plastic conduct heat better than plastic ? |
| 41 | 5.10 | Planning the foil experiment. | Instruction sheet for the investigation (Hox! if you open this, please then download it as a word document as otherwise the formatting is weird) Writing frame in word format (open with google docs and then download) Writing frame as pdf | Complete the first two parts of the planning sheet for the 'insoles' investigation - purpose and apparatus/diagram. For the Friday group also do the plan/method. If you agree with your partner to do more, that is excellent. Only spend a maximum of 30 minutes on your homework |
| 42 | 12.10 | Carrying out the foil experiment. | No homework | |
| 43 | 19.10 | Autumn break. | ||
| 44 | 26.10 | Continuing the foil experiment | Monday: Make sure the purpose, plan and results are complete. Friday group: complete your investigation to hand in first thing next lesson | |
| 45 | 2.11 | Monday: Writing up the foil experiment. Friday:Electromagnetic waves. | Monday lesson notes Friday: lesson notes Introduction to electromagnetic waves video (and a lesson in history!) Parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and their uses. | Monday:if you have not finished it, then you must complete the investigation to hand in at the start of the lesson. If you have done it, then no homework ! Friday: no homework |
| 46 | 9.11 | Electromagnetic waves. Revision for the test. | Monday lesson notes Introduction to electromagnetic waves video (and a lesson in history!) Parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and their uses. Friday: Lesson notes Practice study questions | This video explains what will be in the test Notes from the video - just for info Practice study questions Studying for open note tests info Useful revision videos - these are old but may be helpful. They are from UK schools about 30 years ago ! Conduction Convection Radiation |
| 47 | 16.11 | Test If you miss a test, you will automatically be put into the next läksyparkki (Wednesday 14.15); however do come to see me to see if another time can be arranged. | ||
| 48 | 23.11 | Light - Colour. Frequency. Light - reflection | Visible light - the rainbow. Newton's experiment Video - colour Drawing light rays Reflection from mirrors. Angles of incidence and reflection Monday lesson notes Friday lesson notes | Reflection from a curved mirror. Take a shiny metal spoon and look at your reflection from the spoon when it is concave side up and then convex side up. In your notebook describe the reflections eg bigger, smaller, upside down, left-right reversed. Does it matter how far away you are ? |
| 49 | 30.11 | Refraction and total internal reflection. | What is refraction ? Refraction through curved prisms and lenses. Total internal reflection. Monday lesson notes Friday lesson notes | Review of the term |
| 50 | 7.12 | Sound. | What is sound ? Sound frequencies and wavelengths. Ultrasound. Sheets from the lesson Online frequency generator Human ear diagram | No homework |
| 51 | 14.12 |
