Complete lesson on Reflection, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes various tasks, a practical and discussion. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. There are differentiated tasks and questions. There is a practical requiring light ray boxes, mirrors and protractors for students to investigate what the Law of Reflection might be and to draw their own conclusions before revealing the Law to them. Included in this lesson pack is a Code breaker starter, instruction sheet for students to use as a checklist during the practical to encourage students to follow all instructions in a method, an investigation template for the lower ability students with the incident rays already drawn on and a differentiated worksheet with questions on Reflection and using the Law of Reflection.
