Light - Lenses Plus the Eye, Pinhole Camera & Camera - Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on lenses including the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.

What You Get
80 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on white light, dispersion and color filters for middle school. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.

Cut sheets into cards.
Prior Knowledge Required
The order of the seven colours of the spectrum
Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum.
During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most.
Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass.
Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color.
Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light.
An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others
Work out the color an object appears in different light color

Light - Shadows and Eclipses Wildcard and Snap Card Games KS3
A great way to consolidate learning on shadows and lunar and Solar eclipses with this pack of cards which can be used to play two games – wildcard and snap. So much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning!
Prior Knowledge Required
The shadow of a point source only has an umbra, but the shadow of a large point source has an umbra and a penumbra.
If the light source moves closer to the object, the shadow gets bigger.
If the object moves closer to the screen, the shadow gets smaller.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon.
The Moon orbits the Earth once every 29.5 days.
When the entire moon passes through the Earths penumbra it appears slightly darker (penumbral eclipse).
If only part of the moon passes through the Earth’s umbra it is a partial eclipse.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Earth
A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s umbra will see a total solar eclipse.
A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s penumbra will see a partial solar eclipse.
When the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth, it no longer covers the whole surface of the Sun, and an annular eclipse is seen from the umbra.
The Moon’s orbit is angled relative to the Earth, so the Sun, Earth and Moon are not often in the alignment needed for a lunar Eclipse to occur.
When the entire moon passes through the Earths umbra it appears red due to refracted red light (total or umbral eclipse).

How to Play
• Highest dice throw starts
• Pupils take turns, following instructions in the squares.
• Certain squares instruct the pupil to take a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces.
• If a player thinks an opponent’s answer is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces.
• In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.
Prior Knowledge Required
• Symbols for switch, resistor, battery, voltmeter, ammeter, motor, buzzer and recognise series and parallel circuits.
• Metals and non-metals as conductors and insulators.
• Current is a flow of electrons and metal ions cause resistance.
• Batteries contain chemicals and provide the push or voltage to current.
• Voltage is the difference in energy level between two points in a circuit.
• Comparative resistance of long/short, thin/thick wires.
• Insulators have high resistances and the resistance of all conductors is comparatively lower.
• Comparative brightness of identical lamps in series and parallel and the effect of removing a lamp.
• Ammeters are used in series and voltmeters in parallel.
• Current is measured in amps and voltage in volts.
• Current and voltage in series and parallel circuits.
• Current and voltage vary with number of batteries.
• Metal ions causing high and low resistance conductors.
• Relationship between resistance and current.
