Four action-packed distance learning or home school forces topics including: moments, speed pressure Hooke’s law For each topic there are two packs to allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home thus facilitating blended learning and providing equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. Each classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint ( 13 to 15 slides) and 10 to 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. Each distance learning resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. It gives advice on how to use distance learning successfully and guides the learner step-by-step through the topic. The supporting worksheets include cut-outs, foldables digital quick-tests and progress checks to 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. Some topics include a simulated practical which takes the student through designing a table and drawing graphs. For more high quality resources visit: Elf Off the Shelf Resources

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 What’s Included Lesson Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Answer/mark scheme PowerPoint Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

What’s Covered The shadow of a point source only has an umbra, but the shadow of a large point source has an umbra and a penumbra. If the light source moves closer to the object, the shadow gets bigger. If the object moves closer to the screen, the shadow gets smaller . A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. The Moon orbits the Earth once every 29.5 days. When the entire moon passes through the Earths penumbra it appears slightly darker (penumbral eclipse). If only part of the moon passes through the Earth’s umbra it is a partial eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Earth A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s umbra will see a total solar eclipse. A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s penumbra will see a partial solar eclipse. When the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth, it no longer covers the whole surface of the Sun, and an annular eclipse is seen from the umbra. The Moon’s orbit is angled relative to the Earth, so the Sun, Earth and Moon are not often in the alignment needed for a lunar Eclipse to occur. When the entire moon passes through the Earths umbra it appears red due to refracted red light (total or umbral eclipse).
