Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle to find out what today’s lesson is about. 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.

SPECIFICATION POINTS – COVERS ALL OF KS3 LIGHT SPEC - SOME ARE LISTED BELOW:

* Calculations of speed.
* We see things because they reflect light into our eyes.
* Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object.
* Recall how fast light travels.
* Investigate whether light travels in straight lines.
* Understand reflections, absorption and scatter.
* Understand “refraction” is when light changes direction and speed as it enters another medium.
* Work well as a team member during a “refraction” experiment.
* How lenses correct our sight
* Refractive index – and calculations
* How can we show all the colours that make up white light?
* Predict the colour that results when different colours are added together
* How do coloured filters affect white light?
* Understand that different colours are caused by light waves having different “frequencies”.
* Be able to name the parts of the eye.
* Understand the “function” of parts of the eye
* etc etc etc
All resources are included in these great lessons, there is nothing for you to do but print the activity sheets (if required) give the kit lists to your technicians and enjoy teaching it.
Thank you for looking, your feedback would be much appreciated! :)

This entertaining quiz has 3 rounds all based on Christmas. Student lead so you can take a much needed break ! It is very very flexible and ideal for a 15 to 60 minute tutor time (has extension activities too).
The 3 great fun rounds are: 1) Christmas general knowledge 2) Christmas films 3) Christmas songs. Complete and ready to use, with Amusing Christmas cracker jokes used throughout !
It’s a great resource that teachers of any subject can use with all ages from 5 to 19 years old.
You could even use it at home with the family at Christmas by showing it on your laptop or projecting it…
You can also use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !

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.
