STARTER
Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle and discovering what the lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a student lead laser light demonstration as they begin to identify the key properties of light.
MAIN
The slides then move on to lead the students in comparing light and sound. They will delve a little deeper into this by watching a video, discussing it and answering key questions.
MAIN
Next, the lesson focuses on numeracy questions based around the speed equation and the speed of light. Once this has been completed they can self assess their work using the answers provided.
MAIN
Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see the apple? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she can see the apple.
MAIN
The next activity involves the students grouping objects into luminous or non-luminous. There is differentiation via an activity sheet that can be provided to less able students if required.
MAIN
Students consider what a shadow is and how it is formed. This leads into a practical where students investigate how the size and position of shadows depends on the position of the light source and the distance to the object that creates the shadow.
PLENARY
In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz which will uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson.
EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
These are provided just in case any group requires them.
All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the demo and class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc) and if necessary photocopy the activity sheet.
