Fully differentiated. This resource comes with 4 puzzles, all identical, but with a varying number of pieces. I have included the images, and text so that you can use them in whichever way you see fit. This activity is a piece of text on mass and weight that has been jumbled up into a puzzle. I have printed and laminated mine, however I often use paper copies with lower achievers so that the can be glued into their books. Some ideas on how to use this resource High achievers - remove 1 or 2 of the text pieces of the puzzle. Students make the puzzle and then have to improvise for the missing piece of text by completing the text using their own knowledge.

It also promotes their independence as they can achieve more having clear, concise access to the instructions. Numbered statements and diagrams help students to follow the sequence without having to rely on short term memory. Diagram 1 shows where to position the normal line and mirror. Diagram 2 shows how to position the ray-box or light source and to mark the incident and reflect beams with crosses.
