This lesson is 1 in a series of 5 that expertly and fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the “light” topic. I find that this powerpoint and the interesting activities keep lower level students engaged during the lesson while allowing differentiation for higher achievers. I’m sure you’ll find it useful. :-) For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle and discovering what the lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a student lead laser light demonstration as they begin to identify the key properties of light. MAIN The slides then move on to lead the students in comparing light and sound. They will delve a little deeper into this by watching a video, discussing it and answering key questions. MAIN Next, the lesson focuses on numeracy questions based around the speed equation and the speed of light. Once this has been completed they can self assess their work using the answers provided. MAIN Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see the apple? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she can see the apple. MAIN The next activity involves the students grouping objects into luminous or non-luminous. There is differentiation via an activity sheet that can be provided to less able students if required. MAIN Students consider what a shadow is and how it is formed. This leads into a practical where students investigate how the size and position of shadows depends on the position of the light source and the distance to the object that creates the shadow. PLENARY In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz which will uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES These are provided just in case any group requires them. All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the demo and class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc) and if necessary photocopy the activity sheet. Thank you for looking, any feedback would be much appreciated :) Lesson 1 in a series of 5. Happy teaching, Barclayfox.

After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q&A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN The slides then move on to lead the students into understanding refraction. TTN is introduced as a means of working out whether refraction with bend light towards or away from the normal. Students then undertake an activity and apply TTN to predict the way the light bends at various boundaries between various mediums, they then self-assess using the answers provided. MAIN Next, the lesson focuses on two types of lenses, concave and convex. Diagrams are clear and help get the key points across succinctly and accurately. Students are shown incident rays into a concave lens and then try to predict and draw the ray diagram for the refracted rays. MAIN Students do a class practical with ray boxes and glass blocks to investigate refraction. Students share their results and observations and then undertake a quiz to bring out the key points from the experiment. MAIN Students do a gap fill activity – this can be differentiated by providing or not providing the missing words, they then and self-assess or peer assess using the answers provided. MAIN Refractive index is introduced and students undertake some calculations based around refractive index. This is peer-assessed using the model answers provided. PLENARY Each student self-assesses versus each of the objectives and marks their progress on their progress bars. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years. All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc).

For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons. STARTER Pupils become engaged in the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve 5 anagrams to find out what today’s lesson is about (you could offer a prize for the winners). After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN Homework is set and then students use the activity sheet (built into the PowerPoint – you just print it out) to work in pairs and label different parts of the eye, differentiation - higher ability explain the function of the parts. This can be self or peer assessed using the answers on the slide in the PowerPoint. MAIN Students undertake a matching activity to match the names of parts of the eye to their functions. This can be peer marked, and returned so that students can correct any errors / improve their work. MAIN Students recall the colours in the spectrum of white light, and this is developed into looking at the frequencies of the light and the relationship between colour and frequency. A gap fill activity promotes understanding of several key points and is self-assessed. MAIN Students watch a (carefully selected) short video that explain how our eyes see colour and then they have fun watching another video that tests their individual ability to see colours. PLENARY Students answer 5 questions by matching and then self-assess their understanding of the desired outcomes of today’s lesson now they have reached the end of the lesson. They compare their final understanding to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to improve their learning of the content covered today.
