Sound Waves and Hearing

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Sound Waves and Hearing for AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.4. and a small, Physics only part of 4.6.1.2 that fitted into this lesson better than that lesson. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Describe how sound waves can travel through different media including solids. Use examples to describe how sound waves can be converted to vibrations in solids. Describe how sound waves cause the ear drum to vibrate and cause the sensation of sound. Explain why human hearing range is limited by the frequency range in which sound waves can be converted to vibrations in solids. Use the wave equation to explain how wave speed (velocity), frequency and wavelength change when sound waves move from one medium to another. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Electric Motors and Loudspeakers

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Electric Motors and Loudspeakers for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of the following AQA exam spec points: Electric Motors: GCSE Physics 4.7.2.3 / Combined science 6.7.2.3 which is for Higher Tier students only. Loudspeakers: GCSE Physics 4.7.2.4 which is for GCSE Physics students only and is again for Higher Tier. This GCSE Physics only section is clearly marked. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes. • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
