About this bundle

Everything for the Year 8 Light unit (Activate P1.3) in one download: Introduction to Light, Reflection, Investigating Reflection, Refraction, The Eye as a Camera, Colour, plus the 62-page student workbook that goes with the ‘Turn to Page…’ slides.

Built into every lesson

• Retrieval starter: five questions check the prior knowledge pupils need for the lesson (answers in the notes)
• A concrete, surprising hook to get pupils talking
• Learning objectives pupils can act on, each with a ‘Show it’ task
• Formative assessment throughout: checks, hinge question, plenary and exit ticket
• Common misconceptions targeted: a hidden teacher slide and hinge questions from documented KS3 misconceptions
• Command words always come with a sentence starter or writing frame
• Four Tier 3 key words, with pronunciation and warnings about everyday meanings
• Booklet task slides, each followed by an expected-answers slide, so all the answers are in this PowerPoint
• Interactive tools made specifically for this lesson: the slides link to an ‘Explore’ tool and a ‘Check it’ tool that build and check understanding
• Written for KS3 reading levels: one short idea per bullet
• Fully editable PowerPoint (the lesson only: the printable workbook is a separate, paid resource)
