STARTER Pupils become engaged in the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve 5 anagrams to find out what today’s lesson is about (you could offer a prize for the winners). After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN Homework is set and then students use the activity sheet (built into the PowerPoint – you just print it out) to work in pairs and label different parts of the eye, differentiation - higher ability explain the function of the parts. This can be self or peer assessed using the answers on the slide in the PowerPoint. MAIN Students undertake a matching activity to match the names of parts of the eye to their functions. This can be peer marked, and returned so that students can correct any errors / improve their work. MAIN Students recall the colours in the spectrum of white light, and this is developed into looking at the frequencies of the light and the relationship between colour and frequency. A gap fill activity promotes understanding of several key points and is self-assessed. MAIN Students watch a (carefully selected) short video that explain how our eyes see colour and then they have fun watching another video that tests their individual ability to see colours. PLENARY Students answer 5 questions by matching and then self-assess their understanding of the desired outcomes of today’s lesson now they have reached the end of the lesson. They compare their final understanding to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson.

This lesson is 4 in a series of 5 STARTER Pupils become engaged in 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 and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN Homework is set and then dispersion is demonstrated by the teacher, this is an opportunity for differentiation as high ability groups can do a short practical. There is a Q and A activity to bring out the key points. MAIN Dispersion is linked to the colours in a rainbow and how a rainbow is created. The standard ROY G BIV mnemonic for remembering the spectrum is introduced. MAIN Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see that the apple is red in colour? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how some colours are absorbed and some reflected off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she sees the apple as red. This progresses further into what effect different colours of light has on the colours that we see when looking at objects. Students then apply their new understanding to complete an activity and peer mark their answers. MAIN Students complete a practical experiment to investigate the effect of coloured filters on the colours that they can see. Next they look at the three RGB primary colours and the effects of adding them together. PLENARY A quiz - peer marked - which uncovers how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students self assess their understanding of this topic now they have reached the end of the lesson, and compare it to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years.

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.

After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a student lead laser light demonstration as they begin to identify the key properties of light. MAIN The slides then move on to lead the students in comparing light and sound. They will delve a little deeper into this by watching a video, discussing it and answering key questions. MAIN Next, the lesson focuses on numeracy questions based around the speed equation and the speed of light. Once this has been completed they can self assess their work using the answers provided. MAIN Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see the apple? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she can see the apple. MAIN The next activity involves the students grouping objects into luminous or non-luminous. There is differentiation via an activity sheet that can be provided to less able students if required. MAIN Students consider what a shadow is and how it is formed. This leads into a practical where students investigate how the size and position of shadows depends on the position of the light source and the distance to the object that creates the shadow.

High quality lesson by Barclayfox for the first time you ever meet any class - complete lesson, ready to deliver, use it over and over again - for each new class, every year! The most important lesson you will ever give is the first one to each new class! Complete lesson, ready to use, you only need to spend 2 or 3 minutes completing the ‘who am I’ slide (a partly completed slide for this is included inside the lesson powerpoint). Key Stages: KS3 and KS4 and KS5. ALL subjects / ALL teachers. You can use it with your tutor group too ! Use this lesson to : Reduce the stress and pressure - on you and the students. Sort standards of behaviour. Improve your experience of the first ever lesson with a class. Improve your learners experience of their first ever lesson with you. The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. This is a truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years. During the lesson you will: * Sort out the seating plan. * Learn students names. * Introduce yourself to the students. * Start to discover which students will (e.g. follow instructions, write, spell correctly) and which are reticent/less skilled. * Set and agree class rules. * Rewards - find out which rewards the learners care enough about to try and get. * Set expectations of behaviour * Ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher. * Help learners understand why work ethic is so important. * Learn about individual learners needs. * Learn about their individual likes (important in building relationships) * Learn about their individual dislikes (important in building relationships) * Start to build those critical relationships. * Start to coach / motivate the students about learning. This is an excellent lesson - I use it repeatedly with every new class from KS3 to KS5.

During the lesson you will: * Sort out the seating plan. * Learn names. * Introduce yourself to the students. * Get to know the students. * Set and agree class rules. * Rewards - find out which rewards they care enough about to try and get. * Set expectations of behaviour and ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher. * Help learners understand why work ethic is so important. * Learn about individual learners needs. * Learn about their individual likes (helps build relationships) * Learn about their individual dislikes (helps build relationships) * Start to build relationships. * Start to coach / motivate the students about learning.
