Includes how fossil fuels are formed, what we use them for, how electricity is generated and the advantages and disadvantages. This is made for a KS3 level class. The starter activity revisits efficiency and power from previous lessons to enhance memory recall.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Describe and explain what happens to light when it passes through a prism. State how primary colours add to make secondary colours. State the effect of coloured filters on light and explain how filters and coloured materials subtract light. This is made for a KS3 science class. Includes questions, answers, diagrams, examples and a link to a virtual simulation of dispersion.

This comprehensive PowerPoint resource (.pptx) is designed to help students understand the phenomenon of light refraction, suitable for middle and high school physics classes. It includes engaging content to explain how light changes speed and direction when transitioning between different media, like air and glass, emphasizing key concepts such as bending towards or away from the normal. The resource features: Learning objectives: Students will describe and explain refraction and learn to draw accurate refraction diagrams. Starter activity: Thought-provoking questions to compare the angle of incidence and refraction and explore differences in density between air and glass. Interactive diagrams: Tasks for students to complete refraction diagrams and visualize effects like the apparent depth of objects in water. Real-life applications: Examples like why a pencil appears broken in water and the visual effects of light bending. Practice questions: Designed to test understanding, with solutions provided for effective feedback. Updated recently, this PowerPoint includes detailed notes, diagrams, and practice exercises, making it an ideal resource for introducing refraction in a physics lesson or revising the topic. Perfect for classroom teaching or independent study!
