Light - Dispersion and Colour Filters - Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Wildcard and Snap Card Games

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on white light, diffusion and colour filters for middle school plus a pack of cards for enjoyable and challenging games of wildcard or snap.

Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built i to the resources. 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.

The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.

• Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
• Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
