Scheme of work Physics Particle model of matter – This resource provides guidance for teaching the Particle model of matter topic from our new GCSE Physics (8463). It has been updated from the draft version to reflect the changes made in the accredited specification. There are many changes throughout the document particularly in the opportunities to develop and apply practical and enquiry skills and communication skills. The scheme of work is designed to be a flexible medium term plan for teaching content and development of the skills that will be assessed. It is provided in Word format to help you create your own teaching plan you can edit and customise it according to your needs. This scheme of work is not – exhaustive; it only suggests activities and resources you could find useful in your teaching. 4.3 Particle model of matter 4.3.1 Changes of and the particle model Spec ref.
