Learning objectives that are achieved at this lesson (Subject Programme reference)

Review of all objectives from term 1

Lesson objectives

In this lesson, the students will practice solving problems to clarify their understandings of different concepts and become more confident in their abilities.

Assess criteria

Review of all assess criteria from term 1

Language objectives

Use SI base units to check the homogeneity of physical equations;

(1) use the terms/phrases:

   - the gradient of position-time graph is the velocity of the object.

   - the gradient of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration of the object.

   - the area under the v-t graph is the displacement.

   - the area under the a-t graph is the velocity.

(2) describe the motion of the object by looking at d-t, v-t and a-t graphs whether the object is (a) accelerating  (b) decelerating, (c) no acceleration, (d) moving at constant velocity, (e) not moving 

Describe types of forces

Values instilled at the lesson

Mission/Vision/Global Citizenship: Part of the school’s mission to is create lifelong learners.  Students will be asked whether they are learning the materials in class just to pass an exam, to get into a university, or to become a highly educated person.  Students will also be asked to compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of internal exams given only within one school and international exams given to thousands of students in dozens of nations.

Cross-curricular links

Problems on topics from this term will be connected to topics in biology and chemistry.  Most problems involve graphical and algebra skills used in mathematics classes.

ICT skills

Students will use scientific calculators to solve problems.

Previous learning

All material in this lesson has previously been taught to students.  In this lesson they will review theory and practice solving problems in preparation for exams.

30 min

Review activity (students will answer questions in pairs)

Problems are divided in the folder by topic, so they can be selected by either the teacher or the students based on what they need to review.

Student pair work on review problems

Students will solve problems in spreadsheet. They can discuss and talk about problems.

If they have trouble with problems they can ask help of class, teacher can interact and fulfil their discussion7

Worksheet

End

5 min

Reflection: Students will respond to the following statements with a thumbs up/middle/down

1)      I feel prepared to take the summative assessment.

2)      I feel more prepared to take the summative assessment now than I did at the beginning of the lesson.

3)      I know what I need to study in preparation for the formative assessment.

Presentation with questions for students to answer

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check students’ learning?

Health and safety regulations

Problems are given different numbers of points based on their difficulty.  Students will themselves choose which level of problems to solve, and will be encouraged to attempt problems that are challenging, but doable for them.

Throughout the lesson, teachers will be circulating around the room checking students’ work for accuracy and understanding of the concept.  Today’s lesson is preparation for the summative assessment.

Students will be given a short break in the middle of the lesson to stretch and move around.
