Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is Atmospheric Pressure?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Pneumatic machines use gas pressure to create movement.
  2. Gas pressure is caused by particles (in a gas) bouncing off a surface.
  3. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above.
  4. Atmospheric pressure, decreases with increase of height as weight of air above decreases with height
  5. Pressure measured by ratio of force over area - acting normal to any surface.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is gas pressure caused by?
    Gas pressure is caused by particles (in a gas) bouncing off a surface.
  2. What is atmospheric pressure caused by?
    Atmospheric pressure, it is caused by the weight of air above.
  3. What effect does increase of height have on atmospheric pressure? Explain this.
    Atmospheric pressure, decreases with increase of height as weight of air above decreases with height
  4. What is the equation for calculating pressure?
    Pressure = force/area

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
