Complete lesson on the Eye and Vision, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well.
Includes various tasks and discussions around how the eye works and what causes vision to be blurry and how to correct. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. It starts with a word serahc on keywords linked to the eye and light to familiarise students with some of the spellings. There is a differentiated worksheet on the structure of the eye and what each structure does. There is a set of information sheets that can be printed on A3 and placed around the room for the students to use to fill in their worksheet. The lower ability information sheets are best printed in colour and have basic information on them needed to complete the diagram label and part and function match up. In contrast, the higher ability worksheet requires students to read a more detailed information sheet and extract the key information to include themselves when annotating the diagram. There is then a gap fill activity on the worksheet that can be completed while discussing short-sighted and long-sighted vision and how to correct.
