There are three separate downloadable resources available which are:

Cricket09 Teacher Resource
Cricket09 PowerPoint Resource
Cricket09 Student Resource

All resources compliment each other and for best use we suggest you use all resources in conjunction with each other during delivery of the module to your class/audience. The resources relate specifically to Twenty20 and One Day International (ODI) matches due to the chemistry relating mainly to the coloured kits the teams wear. Much of the content could also be delivered in conjunction with test match fixtures but teams wear whites to play these matches so some of the content about coloured kits would not be directly relevant to these fixtures.

Cricket09 Teacher Resource

The teacher resource for cricket is a document with facts, key points and slide descriptions, which can be used as a basis of a script, created to aid the delivery of the resource. The teacher resource is best delivered in conjunction with the PowerPoint resource (presentation), also downloadable from the site. A downloadable student resource worksheet supplements the module and can be used as a student handout. The resources are suitable for use to aid chemistry teaching for 11 – 14 year olds and introduce the topics of colour and light.  Using the sport of cricket and the equipment used and kits worn, light and colour and terms such as transparent, reflection, transmission and absorption or explored.  Also discussed is the speed of light and the fact that it must travel in straight lines.

Cricket09 PowerPoint Resource

The PowerPoint resource for cricket is a presentation designed for teachers to use as a visual tool when using the teacher resource. The presentation looks briefly at the sport of cricket and gives particular focus to the Twenty20 and One Day International forms of the game where the colour of the teams kits is explored in detail. Terms and properties associated with light and colour are looked at in detail. The presentation is visual with pictures as well as bulleted key points and notes. The student resource questions have been added to the presentation along with the answers to allow the answering of the questions to take place in a group situation or to be used for group revision purposes.

Cricket09 Student Resource

The student resource for cricket comprises of two documents consisting of questions, pictures and information covering the topics of light, colour and their associated properties. The first document is a worksheet designed to be delivered after about two thirds of the module has been delivered. The second document is a revision sheet covering all of the material in the module designed to be completed at the end of the module to help students recap on the material covered and aid teachers to check that learning has taken place. The questions can be used during delivery of the PowerPoint presentation if preferred or as a plenary or homework exercise.
