Light - Refraction - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS3
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson on refraction to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school.
The classroom resource consists of an animated 29 slide PowerPoint and 15 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
The distance learning pack consists of a 64 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.
What’s Covered
The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light.
When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal.
When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal.
Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted.
Light is not refracted at a curved boundary.

These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.
What’s Covered
The order of the seven colours of the spectrum
Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum.
During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most.
Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass.
Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color.
Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light.
An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others
Work out the color an object appears in different light color

Light - Reflection, Refraction and Lenses - Three Fully Resourced Lessons
Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on refraction, reflection and lenses for middle school.
Each topic comes with an engaging, animated PowerPoint and eleven printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand.
Emphasis is placed on assessment for learning and detailed answers to questions are provided throughout, which makes self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic.
Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.
What’s Covered
Reflection
Transparent, translucent and opaque materials
Luminous and non-luminous objects
Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence
Virtual experiment to prove i = r
Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror
The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.
Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope
Specular and diffuse images
Refraction
The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light.
When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal.
When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal.
Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted.
Light is not refracted at a curved boundary.
Complete ray diagrams showing refraction.
Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block
Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges.
Real and apparent depth
Lenses
Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens.
Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight.
Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight.
Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve.
Draw ray diagrams and explain how the eye sees distant and close objects.
Draw ray diagrams and explain how lenses are used to correct long and short sight.
Draw diagrams and explain how the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye.
Draw a ray diagram of the pinhole camera, know that the image is inverted sand diminished, moving the object closer enlarges the image and multiple pinholes produce multiple images
Label a diagram of the camera and explain how a picture is taken.
Explain the differences and similarities between the eye and the camera

What You Get
90 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
