Two comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on refraction and reflection for KS3. Each topic comes with an engaging, animated PowerPoint and eleven printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. Emphasis is placed on assessment for learning and detailed answers to questions are provided throughout, which makes self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts. What’s Covered Reflection Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Virtual experiment to prove i = r Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse images Refraction 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. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth What’s Included for Each Lesson Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Answer/mark scheme PowerPoint Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on refraction plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game on reflection and refraction which students can either match or answer the question. The teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.

A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to magnetism and electromagnets plus a compendium of seven enjoyable and challenging games on suitable for all abilities. Each game is fully resourced, comes with full instructions and is easy to run. This versatile games pack can be used to enhance a lesson, for revision or for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as most come with answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack. What’s Covered 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.
