This resource is a fully differentiated lesson aimed at teaching the new GCSE Physics and Trilogy Physics specification, and links to the Energy and Energy resources module, completing the required practical involving thermal conductivity.

​

This lesson has 5 learning objectives that are structured in the IDEAL format:

​

• Identify some factors that affect the rate of heat transfer.

​

• Describe how to improve heat transfer.

​

• Explain, using results, which insulator was best at its job.

​

• Apply your understanding of air as a conductor to explain why this was the best insulator.

​

• Link your results to explain how we make sure that double glazed windows are energy efficient.

​

This lesson is designed with a challenge objective and challenge questions throughout to stretch your most able students, whilst supporting your LA students.
