High quality, complete and ready to use lesson. For use in KS3 and for lower and middle ability groups in KS4.
‘‘LENSES, FOCAL LENGTH AND TELESCOPES’’ - STUDENT OUTCOMES:
By the end of the lesson students will be able to:
* Identify convex and concave lenses.
* Explain that lenses cause refraction and explain what it is.
* Draw a ray diagram for convex and concave lenses.
* Explain how to measure the focal length of a lens.
* Explain how a telescope works.
STARTER
Pupils will start the lessons by thinking about the outcomes presented and then self- assessing their current understanding of what this lesson is going to cover. This engages the students as they are actively thinking, and this then facilitates self-assessment of their individual progress at the end of the lesson.
MAIN and MAIN and MAIN....
This lesson is chunked into discrete sections to support learning and engender positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused.
There are various student activities such as: practical / experiment, differentiated worksheet for the practical, gap fill, paired work, literacy activities, numeracy (differentiation), focused questions with answers and differentiation, quiz, homework, self-assessment and peer assessment opportunities etc. This good variety of activities keeps pupils focused and happily learning.
