Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is diffusion and how does it work?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Concentration is the number of a particular type of particle in a volume of space. Diffusion is the movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Particles in a fluid are always moving. Horizontally, half the particles will be moving to the left and half to the right. Half of a large number is more than half of a smaller number. So more particles will travel from a larger number of particles (high concentration), than are replaced by the smaller number moving form the smaller number of particles (lower concentration).

AFL/Key Questions:

What is concentration?
Concentration is the number of a particular type of particle in a volume of space.
What is diffusion?
diffusion in liquids and gases driven by differences in concentration
What happens to the particles in a fluid?
diffusion in terms of the particle model
Why do particles move from an area where there are more to where ther
Half of a large number is more than half of a smaller number. So more particles will travel from a larger number of particles (high concentration), than are replaced by the smaller number moving form the smaller number of particles (lower concentration).

Starter Activity	Differentiation and Challenge question/task
Students to copy and complete the keywords. Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes; Discuss the scientific meanings of the words. Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords. Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'. What does it show? How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?

Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
