STARTER
Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs and thinking back to the previous lesson to solve a gap fill. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson.
MAIN
The slides then move on to lead the students onto the law of reflection. They will delve a little deeper into this by answering key questions from a diagram.
MAIN
Next, the lesson focuses on reflections in mirrors and how this works. Diagrams are clear and help get the key points across accurately. Students calculate the angle of incidence and self-assess. Next they look at specular and diffuse reflections.
MAIN
Students study a slide which shows a mirror and virtual image. This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the mirror to create the virtual image. Student answer several questions focused on the above.
MAIN
Differentiation, Kinaesthetic up and about OR ray box practical - depending on which you feel is best matched to the abilities of your particular class. In the Kinaesthetic activity students follow the instructions and throw, or roll, a ball against a wall and compare the angles of incidence with their respective angles of reflection. In the light box practical they fire rays of light at a mirror and record incidence and reflection angles. These activities reinforce the law of reflection in student’s minds.
PLENARY
Each student self-assesses versus each of the objectives.
EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
These are provided just in case any group requires them.
All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc).

Lesson 2 in a series of 5.
Happy teaching,
Barclayfox.
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.
There is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc).

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.

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 is a highly entertaining Christmas lesson full of fun activities. Complete and ready to use. It also includes a fully explained activity where students build and fire simple catapults made from lolly (popsicle) sticks. This is done in the classroom (no need to go outside). You do not need to know how to build the catapult, the lesson carefully guides students so they can do it without help ! They will absolutely love this activity and the story it is part of… great fun !
The story:
A story about an invasion of zombie Santas is told. Christmas is in jeopardy! The learners have to try to save Christmas by defeating the zombie horde and finding a cure to turn the zombies back into humans. All instructions are included and the lesson teaches the learners almost automatically, any of us can give this fun and imaginative lesson. How can we stop the zombie horde? How do we cure the zombies turning them back into people? Can your class save Christmas?
Flexible length:
The length of the lesson is very flexible depending on your needs. There are activities you can miss out and there is also a Christmas cracker based extension you can add in. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 0.5 hours and 1.5 hours depending on your requirements.
Subject and age groups:
This lesson gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them happy, focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. There’s nothing like zombies to capture the imagination of students! It’s a great lesson that teachers of any subject can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date (like a quiz might) so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
Learning and skills:
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and includes: literacy, numeracy, SMSC, team working skills, questions with answers, physical coordination skills, activities with answers, play ball game, joke telling etc
High quality, ready to use lesson - great for teachers of all subjects!

This lesson takes the students on a journey.
It leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard.
Particularly useful for tutor time, or for New Years Resolutions or for any reflection and target setting or goal setting.
It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress.
Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-)
Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate.
Both the Powerpoint and excel files are fully editable.
