I share original PowerPoints, worksheets and SEN/EAL booklets that I created while training to become a Science Teacher. I have continued to use these resources successfully during my 3 year teaching career. My resources include a full lesson plan in the description (40-50 minutes) to guide other trainees and PGCE students. I received an Outstanding grade at the end of both placements, where I used these resources. Resources are for KS3 Science, PSCHE, GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, A Leve

Waves, Light, Reflection and Refraction - Year 8 / KS3 Physics (3 lesson BUNDLE)

(0)
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. Free SEN help sheet and word search included in this bundle.
