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 Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Justify how filters can affect how we see an object. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria Explain what happens when light passes through a prism describe how primary colours add to make secondary colours explain how filters and coloured materials subtract light. Powerpoint contains 25 slides.

A resource containing a comprehensive powerpoint slideshow that will allow for learners to learn about the law of reflection, specular reflection and diffuse scattering and how objects appear in mirrors (virtual images) Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Progress checks take place after each success criteria to measure the progress of learners. An animation is included to show how a virtual image is generated. By the end of the lesson students should be able to: Learning objective: Develop an understanding of how light reflects and the law of reflection. Success criteria: Identify types of reflection. Describe the law of reflection. Explain the appearance of virtual objects. This lesson contains 40 slides

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify a wavelength. Describe how to calculate wave speed. Explain why wave speed can change.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the: Dalton, Thomson and Rutherford models of atoms. Describe how each of the models came about. Explain why Rutherford’s experiment proved that atoms are made mostly of empty space.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the equipment needed for Crystallization and filtration. Describe the process of filtration and Crystallization. Justify the correct method to use given the situation.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Recall how many electrons each shell can hold. Describe the link between the electronic configuration diagram and written version. Explain the link between the outer electrons and the group the atom is in.

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about charges and how these charges contribute towards static electricity. Students will then progress to find how these charges interact with another and generate current. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Justify how charges behave and how this contributes to electricity. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: Identify the 2 charges. Describe how materials can become charged. Explain why static shocks occur. Powerpoint contains 20 slides. A worksheet is also included to complement the Van Der Graaf.

By the end of this lesson learners should be able to: Identify substances that can diffuse. Describe how particles move during diffusion. Explain why temperature affects the rate of diffusion.
