Refraction
Subject: Physics
Age range: 14-16
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Refraction for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.2.2 / Combined Science 6.6.2.2.
This lesson has been written so that it can be taught to GCSE Physics students (who will have covered reflection in a previous lesson) and GCSE Combined Science students (who will not have covered reflection). I have also written it so that it can be taught in the order specified in the exam spec, or taught as part of a “light” topic as some schools prefer.
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Teaching notes
• Two Starter / Do Now activities - one for GCSE Physics classes and one for Combined Science classes
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
Learning objectives:
- Describe how different substances can absorb, transmit, reflect or refract electromagnetic waves, and how this is related to the wavelength of the wave.
- Describe what refraction is and when it occurs.
- Use ray diagrams to show the refraction of light at the boundary between two different media.
- Explain why refraction occurs, using wave front diagrams.
- Explain why refraction is due to the difference in velocity of waves in different substances.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
