This is an action-packed distance learning or home school introduction to refraction. This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. The simulated practical shows how measurements for the angles of incidence and reflection when light is refracted through a glass block are obtained and provides a set of results for the students to draw a conclusion. What’s Covered The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth.

This is an action-packed distance learning or home school introduction to magnetism. This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. The simulated practical takes the student through designing an investigation, a table and drawing a graph. What’s Covered Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south. Explain how an electric bell, a relay and a circuit breaker work.

Finish and reinforce a middle school module on reflection, refraction and lenses or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Molly, a pupil’s dog, has been accidentally locked after following the child to school and while the school secretary phones home. Prior Knowledge Required Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror and in a periscope. The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Specular and diffuse images The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. Light hitting a boundary at ninety degrees is not refracted nor at a curved boundary. Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight. Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight.

The pinhole camera and the camera and compare with the eye. The pack contains: PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); crossword; word search; dominoes activity; worksheet; code breaker sheet; answers; lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the teacher.
