A great way to consolidate learning on refraction with this pack of cards which can be used to play two games – wildcard and snap. Prior Knowledge Required The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Ray diagrams showing refraction. Refraction through a semi - circular glass block and prism. Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth.

A great way to consolidate learning on shadows and lunar and Solar eclipses with this pack of cards which can be used to play two games – wildcard and snap. So much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning! Prior Knowledge Required The shadow of a point source only has an umbra, but the shadow of a large point source has an umbra and a penumbra. If the light source moves closer to the object, the shadow gets bigger. If the object moves closer to the screen, the shadow gets smaller. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. The Moon orbits the Earth once every 29.5 days. When the entire moon passes through the Earths penumbra it appears slightly darker (penumbral eclipse). If only part of the moon passes through the Earth’s umbra it is a partial eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Earth A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s umbra will see a total solar eclipse. A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s penumbra will see a partial solar eclipse. When the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth, it no longer covers the whole surface of the Sun, and an annular eclipse is seen from the umbra. The Moon’s orbit is angled relative to the Earth, so the Sun, Earth and Moon are not often in the alignment needed for a lunar Eclipse to occur. When the entire moon passes through the Earths umbra it appears red due to refracted red light (total or umbral eclipse).

Prior Knowledge Required Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators. Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not. Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull. Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not. Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck. Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic. Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy. Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid. Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide. Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

Prior Knowledge Required Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.
