Reflection

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Reflection for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.3 Reflection of Waves and the part of 4.6.2.6 Visible Light that relates to specular and diffuse reflection. This lesson has been written so that it can be taught in the order specified in the exam spec / waves topic, or taught as part of a “light” topic as some schools prefer. However, if taught as part of a “light” topic please remember that students may be asked about reflection in contexts other than light – the lesson emphasises that reflection is not only a property of light waves. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

The lesson powerpoint teaches students how to draw a simple graph step-by-step in a relatively lively way. The Bottle Rockets worksheet (word document) can be used to follow up / expand on this and includes challenge activities / questions. The lesson is suitable for both KS3 and KS4 - for KS3 classes it may take a whole hour lesson, while for KS4 it is likely to be part of a lesson. This was the first resource I uploaded years ago and has been downloaded thousands of times with excellent reviews. My more recent resources are longer, more detailed and more sophisticated but this resource is excellent in its simplicity. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. If you use this free resource I would be grateful if you would please leave a review and take a look at the other resources in my TES shop.
