A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on shadows and lunar and solar eclipses for middle school plus a pack of cards for enjoyable and challenging games of wildcard or snap. The teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built i to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. What’s Covered The shadow of a point source only has an umbra, but the shadow of a large point source has an umbra and a penumbra. If the light source moves closer to the object, the shadow gets bigger. If the object moves closer to the screen, the shadow gets smaller . A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. The Moon orbits the Earth once every 29.5 days. When the entire moon passes through the Earths penumbra it appears slightly darker (penumbral eclipse). If only part of the moon passes through the Earth’s umbra it is a partial eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon stops all, or some, of the Sun’s light from reaching the Earth A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s umbra will see a total solar eclipse. A person on Earth, standing in the Moon’s penumbra will see a partial solar eclipse. When the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth, it no longer covers the whole surface of the Sun, and an annular eclipse is seen from the umbra. The Moon’s orbit is angled relative to the Earth, so the Sun, Earth and Moon are not often in the alignment needed for a lunar Eclipse to occur. When the entire moon passes through the Earths umbra it appears red due to refracted red light (total or umbral eclipse).

There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. What’s Covered Reflection Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Virtual experiment to prove i = r Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse images Refraction The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth Lenses Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight. Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight. Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve. Draw ray diagrams and explain how the eye sees distant and close objects. Draw ray diagrams and explain how lenses are used to correct long and short sight. Draw diagrams and explain how the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye. Draw a ray diagram of the pinhole camera, know that the image is inverted sand diminished, moving the object closer enlarges the image and multiple pinholes produce multiple images Label a diagram of the camera and explain how a picture is taken.
