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. For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons. 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. SPECIFICATION POINTS – COVERS ALL OF KS3 LIGHT SPEC - SOME ARE LISTED BELOW: * Light travels in straight lines. * Light travels much faster than sound. * Speed of light. * Calculations of speed. * We see things because they reflect light into our eyes. * Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object. * Recall how fast light travels. * Investigate whether light travels in straight lines. * Understand reflections, absorption and scatter. * Understand “refraction” is when light changes direction and speed as it enters another medium. * Work well as a team member during a “refraction” experiment. * How lenses correct our sight * Refractive index – and calculations * How can we show all the colours that make up white light? * Predict the colour that results when different colours are added together * How do coloured filters affect white light? * Understand that different colours are caused by light waves having different “frequencies”. * Be able to name the parts of the eye. * Understand the “function” of parts of the eye * etc etc etc All resources are included in these great lessons, there is nothing for you to do but print the activity sheets (if required) give the kit lists to your technicians and enjoy teaching it. Thank you for looking, your feedback would be much appreciated! :) Happy teaching, Barclayfox.

This is a complete, and ready to deliver, high quality fully differentiated KS3 (for the USA this is grade 7, 8 and 9) lesson from Barclayfox. Complete from start to end. You do not need to spend a huge number of hours carefully planning it and writing multiple thoughtfully differentiated and unique resources, I have already spent those hours creating this great lesson. Furthermore it has been improved time and again after each use. It is a tried and tested successful teaching resource. A reasonable estimate is that this is 15+ hours of effort. This is a KS3 resource, but it is more than suitable to teach the topic to lower ability KS4 or to revise previous learning with KS4 students. There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with the differentiation. Lesson objectives: Be able to * Explain the differences between animal and plant cells. * Name some specialised cells. * Accurately draw the organelles of various specialised cells. * Describe their function * Explain their adaptations. This carefully crafted lesson is over 40 slides long, and is full of learning activities as below: * Notes to help the teacher. * Starter - simple task where students self-assess against the objectives. * Differentiated Activity sheets - 3 differentiated worksheets, PLATINUM (high ability), GOLD (medium ability), SILVER (for students needing Support). * Differentiated Long Answer (extended writing) questions with answers * Gap fill activity - all answers are provided. * Quiz with answers. * Questions – all answers are provided. * Peer marking * Self marking * Up and about activity - work in groups to collect data from stations around the room. * Theory slides (carefully sculpted, interspaced with learning activities, not ‘death by powerpoint’). * Play ball. * Paired work activities – answers are provided. * Scientific literacy activity. * Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt.
