Contains: Waves (transverse, longitudinal, diagram of a wave), reflection and refraction of light, practical activity on reflection and refraction with directions on how to draw rays of reflection and incidence. Suitable for Year 8 or 9 KS3 Physics Unit on Waves. I recommend leaving aside 20 minutes for the refraction practical (mirror, lens or prism, lightbox and piece of paper, lights switched off in lab) This is a unit of 3 lessons, with 3 separate PowerPoints, including detailed instructions on how to complete the practical activities, making this an ideal resource for remote learning during Covid-19, or for student teachers who are looking for guidance on how to conduct the practicals.
