Planning templates for Science

Lesson Plan

5E Model

The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.

Unit Planner

Thematic Unit

Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.

Rubric

Single-Point Rubric

Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.

More in Light and Geometric Optics

The Nature and Production of Light

Explore the electromagnetic spectrum and how light is produced. Investigate various sources of light, including incandescence, fluorescence, and bioluminescence.

2 methodologies

Reflection and Plane Mirrors

Investigate the laws of reflection and how images are formed in flat mirrors. Students will learn to predict the characteristics of an image using ray diagrams.

2 methodologies

Curved Mirrors

Examine the reflection of light by concave and convex mirrors. Students will construct ray diagrams to determine image properties and explore real-world applications.

2 methodologies

Refraction of Light

Discover how light bends when it passes between different media. Calculate the index of refraction and explore phenomena like total internal reflection.

2 methodologies

Lenses and Image Formation

Analyse how converging and diverging lenses refract light to form images. Students will use the thin lens equation and magnification equation to solve optical problems.
