2(1hr for separate and P1.1d define density P1.1e explain the differences in density between the different states of matter in terms of the arrangements of the atoms and molecules P1.1f apply the relationship between density, mass and volume to changes where mass is conserved (M1a, M1b, M1c, M3c) PM1.1i recall and apply: density (kg/m3) = mass (kg) / volume (m3) Starter: Density: A story of Archimedes and the gold crown A video summarising the story of Archimedes and the gold crown which is a good introduction to getting learners thinking about density and its relationship with mass and volume. Main options: Density experiments Numerous free videos and experiment sheets for density experiments that can be printed straight from the website and used for whole class practical activities. Population density graph A population density graph which will enable learners to discuss the definition of density based on people.

3(1hr separate only) P1.3e explain how doing work on a gas can increase its temperature Starter: Work done and temperature Main: Measuring gas pressure using a manometer This experiment explores the use of a manometer to measure pressure in a column of liquid. Plenary: Pupils answer Lesson objective as question: What would the effect of doing work on a gas be on its temperature? Explain your answer.

The Goldilocks principle: A model of atmospheric gases Learners use jelly beans and coloured cotton wool to produce a model of Earth’s atmosphere. This can be completed as a comparison between Earth and the other ‘sister’ planets in a hands on way.
