Light the complete KS3 topic in 5 lessons

This is a series of 5 lessons that expertly and fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the light topic.

These PowerPoints and their varied and interesting activities keep lower ability students engaged while allowing differentiation for higher ability. I’m sure you’ll find them very useful.

ACTIVITIES:
Practical experiments, demonstrations, anagrams, picture puzzles, differentiation, gap fills, matching activities, up and about, self and peer assessment, quizzes, videos, questioning, literacy etc etc etc. All answers are provided. Great variety, fun and engaging.

* Refractive index – and calculations
* How can we show all the colours that make up white light?
