Produced to be used when delivering the activate 1 pathway.
A comprehension lesson that teaches students how to measure speed by using the formula triangle with some reference to practical applications.
Support sheets are also included to guide students should it be needed.
Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.
By the end of the lesson students should be able to:
Success criteria:
I can calculate speed using the equation triangle.
I can analyse how to measure speed effectively using specific equipment
I can justify why objects appear to be travelling faster or slower with reference to relative motion.
Learning objective: To apply the idea of speed to real life instances.
Powerpoint contains 18 slides and a lesson plan is also attached.
A comprehension lesson that teaches students about the colours of light and how the primary colours contribute towards how we perceive objects around us. How objects reflect or absorb light colours. How filters influence light.
Progress checks are available following each success criteria
