Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Reflection for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.3 Reflection of Waves and the part of 4.6.2.6 Visible Light that relates to specular and diffuse reflection. This lesson has been written so that it can be taught in the order specified in the exam spec / waves topic, or taught as part of a “light” topic as some schools prefer. However, if taught as part of a “light” topic please remember that students may be asked about reflection in contexts other than light – the lesson emphasises that reflection is not only a property of light waves. 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 • Starter / Do Now Activity • 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. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
