10. Our Physical World Part 1 10. Looking at Light Energy. By the end of lesson 10 pupils should be able to: 10.1 State that we can only see an object when light from that object enters our eyes. 10.2 State that light travels in straight lines. 10.3 State what happens to light when it crosses from one transparent material into another.

12. Our Physical World Part 1 12. Investigating Sound Energy. By the end of lesson 12 pupils should be able to: 12.1 State that objects vibrating fast enough produce sound. 12.2 Understand how the vibrating object ‘squashes together’ and ‘stretches apart’ the air particles round about it. 12.3 State that these ‘squashings’ and ‘stretchings’ move away from the vibrating object as a sound wave. 12.4 State that the frequency (pitch) of the sound wave depends on how quickly the object vibrates. 12.5 Describe an experiment that shows sound can travel through a solid. Knox Academy Science Department S1 Science

13. Our Physical World Part 1 13. More about Sound Energy. By the end of lesson 13 pupils should be able to: 13.1 Describe some examples of vibrating objects producing sound. 13.2 State that some objects can be made to vibrate and produce sound by hitting them. 13.3 State that some objects can be made to vibrate and produce sound by plucking them. 13.4 State that some objects can be made to vibrate and produce sound by blowing over them.

14. Our Physical World Part 1 14. Sun and Earth. By the end of lesson 14 pupils should be able to: 14.1 State the source of the sun’s energy. 14.2 Complete an energy chain starting with the sun and ending with a person to show where the energy needed for life comes from. 14.3 Explain why the earth gets night and day. 14.4 Explain in terms of the concentration of sunlight falling on different parts of the earth why its cold at the poles and hot at the equator. 14.5 Explain in terms of the concentration of sunlight falling on different parts of the earth at different times of the year why we get summer and winter.
