This lesson is all about tackling the literacy challenges of polarisation. Exams almost always ask similar questions and expect similar answers so it is vital they do lots of repetition. This lesson helps students revise polarisation, analyse the exact mark scheme patterns and drill the core phrases into their memory. No plan/ very little prep. Just print the PPQs, Crosswork and use the slides. Please review. If people think they are good I will make more.

Complete, no planning required. Start with a spaced learning task on uncertainties; have students self-assess using the provided mark scheme. Transition into semiconductors and electron levels by placing key term posters (e.g., ground state) around the room for a “scavenger hunt” retrieval activity. Connect these concepts to the invisible light spectrum by discussing how this is utilised in modern telescopes. Conclude with scaffolded calculations from the PowerPoint, followed by an independent worksheet. All answers are provided for immediate feedback. Calculations include converting eV to Joules and calculating photon absorbtion and emission.

This lesson is all about tackling the literacy challenges of diffraction patterns. The literacy challenge is always tested and almost always poorly answered by students. This lesson helps students revise diffraction - both single and double slit, analyse the exact mark scheme patterns and drill the core phrases into their memory. No plan/ very little prep. Just print the PPQs and use the slides. Please review. If people think they are good I will make more.

This lesson is all about tackling the literacy challenges of standing waves. Exams almost always ask to define a standing wave or explain how it forms, usually for a solid 3 marks. This lesson helps students revise standing waves, analyse the exact mark scheme patterns and drill the core phrases into their memory. No plan/ very little prep. Just print the PPQs and use the slides. Please review. If people think they are good I will make more.
