Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on refraction, reflection and lenses for middle school plus an enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson to consolidate learning. Each teaching pack contains at least thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. 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. . What’s Covered Reflection 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 Virtual experiment to prove i = r Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror 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. Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse images Refraction 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 Lenses 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. Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve. Draw ray diagrams and explain how the eye sees distant and close objects. Draw ray diagrams and explain how lenses are used to correct long and short sight. Draw diagrams and explain how the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye. Draw a ray diagram of the pinhole camera, know that the image is inverted sand diminished, moving the object closer enlarges the image and multiple pinholes produce multiple images Label a diagram of the camera and explain how a picture is taken. Explain the differences and similarities between the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera. What’s Included for Each Lesson Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

What’s Covered 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). More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

What’s Covered 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 More high quality resources available here.

The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 39 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional 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. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. The practical, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. Objective To know that an electric current is a flow of electrons which pick up energy from the battery. To know that, as batteries are added to a circuit, the voltage increases and the lamp gets brighter. To be able to make a prediction and design an experiment and results table to investigate the relationship between the number of batteries and voltage. To be able to draw a bar graph. To be able to calculate the output of n number of batteries from known numbers of batteries. Click on the resource for more details on the content of each pack.
