Aimed towards KS3 (Yrs 11-14), a fun animated lesson explaining the Seasons. Slide by slide animations shows clearly why the Earth experiences Summer and Winter. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what causes summer and winter. Describe how the Sun radiates light. Explain the link between the tilting of the Earth and the seasons.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify pivots. Describe how a moment is made. Explain why doors have their handle on the furthest point from the pivot.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: State what is meant by nuclear fission. Describe how nuclear fission can cause a chain reaction. Explain why nuclear fission must be controlled.

A revision session containing a mind map (with guidance and without). A Powerpoint containing a quiz session (10 questions) - excellent for a starter / plenary. Answers to each section of the mind map within the Powerpoint.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what is meant by standard deviation. Describe how to calculate standard deviation. Create error bars from data and place correctly on a graph.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify low, mid and high energy waves. Describe how to protect yourself from exposure to energy waves. Explain why there is strict government guidelines for the use of gamma and X-rays

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify short, medium and long wavelength waves in the EM spectrum. Describe how these waves are used. Explain why the use of short wavelengths are controlled.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the waves of the EM spectrum. Describe how frequency and wavelength change throughout the EM spectrum. Explain why radio waves can be used safely.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify harmonics on a string. Describe how the harmonics affect the wavelength. Explain why a greater wavelength leads to a sound containing more bass.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify standing and progressive waves. Describe how to produce a standing wave. Explain why resonance can be dangerous.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify waves from a top view. Describe what occurs during diffraction. Explain why a diffraction grating produces light and dark zones.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify a wavelength. Describe how to calculate wave speed. Explain why wave speed can change.

A comprehensive Powerpoint which will allows for students to learn about luminous and non-luminous objects, opaque, transparent and translucent objects and how thickness of a translucent object affects the amount of light traveling through. I personally use this as an introductory lesson to the light topic. Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Progress checks take place after each success criteria to measure the progress of learners. By the end of the lesson students should be able to: Learning objective: Develop an understanding of how objects interact with light. Success criteria: -Identify luminous and non-luminous materials. -Describe how light interacts with a translucent material. -Explain why the thickness of a translucent material affects the light. This lesson contains 17 slides.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: State what happens when sound reaches an object. Describe how echoes describe the object it has reflected from. Explain why echoes are used by pregnant women and dolphins.
