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.
