High quality, complete and ready to use lesson. For use in KS3 and for lower and middle ability groups in KS4. ‘‘LENSES, FOCAL LENGTH AND TELESCOPES’’ - STUDENT OUTCOMES: By the end of the lesson students will be able to: * Identify convex and concave lenses. * Explain that lenses cause refraction and explain what it is. * Draw a ray diagram for convex and concave lenses. * Explain how to measure the focal length of a lens. * Explain how a telescope works. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking about the outcomes presented and then self- assessing their current understanding of what this lesson is going to cover. This engages the students as they are actively thinking, and this then facilitates self-assessment of their individual progress at the end of the lesson. MAIN and MAIN and MAIN.... This lesson is chunked into discrete sections to support learning and engender positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused. There are various student activities such as: practical / experiment, differentiated worksheet for the practical, gap fill, paired work, literacy activities, numeracy (differentiation), focused questions with answers and differentiation, quiz, homework, self-assessment and peer assessment opportunities etc. This good variety of activities keeps pupils focused and happily learning. PLENARY: In the plenary activity pupils complete an activity then peer assess it to uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. They then self-assess themselves against the lesson outcomes. Students who need further support set themselves additional homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES: These are provided just in case any group requires them. COMPLETE AND READY TO USE: All resources are included in this excellent lesson, there is nothing for you but order the practical kit, photocopy the 2 differentiated activity sheets and deliver the lesson.
