Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Required Practical - Reflection and refraction of waves
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to describe the effects of reflection, transmission and absorption of waves at material interfaces.
  2. Required practical 9 - reflection/refraction of waves (physics only) (AT skills 4,8)
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Frequency: the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time (1)
  • Diffused reflection: A rough surface will produce diffused reflection with scattered reflection of the waves. (1)
  • Specular reflection: reflection are that the wave bounces back at the same angle if the surface is smooth (1)
  • Interface: point where two mediums meet and interact (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. (Physics Only)What are the effects of reflection, transmission and absorption of waves at material interfaces?
    The effects at material interfaces for: reflection are that the wave bounces back at the same angle if the surface is smooth (specular reflection). A rough surface will produce diffused reflection with scattered reflection of the waves. Transmission: If the object is transparent and light can pass through at the same frequency the light waves are said to be transmitted. Absorption of electromagnetic waves will vary between different materials and how easily they will absorb infrared radiation.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
