This is a fully-resourced revision lesson, that is likely to be most effective when used over the course of a series of lessons, and has been designed to help students to revise and assess their knowledge of the content that is found in topics P4 (Waves and radioactivity), P5(Energy) and P6 (Global challenges) of the OCR Gateway A GCSE Combined Science specification. This is the content that will be assessed in paper 6 in the terminal exams. This revision lesson uses a combination of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to cover the following sub-topics and specification points: Wave behaviour The electromagnetic spectrum Radioactivity Work done Power and efficiency Physics on the move Powering Earth This lesson contains a big emphasis on the mathematical calculations that will be involved in these exams, and as a result students are challenged to recall the equations and to apply them. Students will be engaged through the numerous quiz rounds whilst crucially being able to recognise those areas which require their further attention during general revision or during the lead up to the actual GCSE terminal exams. A lot of the tasks have been differentiated so that students of all abilities can access the work and be challenged appropriately.

This is a fully-resourced revision lesson that uses a combination of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content found within topic 5 (Waves in matter) of the OCR Gateway A GCSE Physics specification. The sub-topics and specification points that are tested within the lesson include: Recall and apply the equation to calculate wave speed using frequency and wavelength Describe wave motion in terms of amplitude, frequency, wavelength and period Define wavelength and frequency and be able to describe and apply the relationship between these and the wave velocity Describe differences between transverse and longitudinal waves Describe reflection and transmission of waves at material interface Understand how waves are used in ultrasound and SONAR Be able to describe how a ripple tank can be used to measure the speed of a wave The electromagnetic spectrum Use ray diagrams to show refraction This revision lesson has been designed to include the wide variety of mathematical skills that are tested in the Physics exam papers including rearranging formula, converting to S.I. units and calculating using standard form. Students will be engaged through the numerous quiz rounds whilst crucially being able to recognise those areas which require their further attention during general revision or during the lead up to the actual GCSE terminal exams

This is an engaging revision lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quiz tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 3 (Properties of waves, including light and sound) of the Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) specification. The lesson covers the content in both the core and supplement sections of the specification and therefore can be used with students who will be taking the extended papers as well as the core papers. The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include: Give the meaning of the terms speed, frequency, wavelength and amplitude Distinguish between longitudinal and transverse waves and be able to give suitable examples of each Recall and use the equation velocity = frequency x wavelength Describe how waves can undergo reflection, refraction and diffraction Describe how wavelength affects diffraction Describe an experimental demonstration of the refraction of light Be able to define refractive index and recall the equation to calculate Give the meaning of the critical angle and recall the equation to calculate Describe total internal reflection and be able to explain the use of optical fibres in medicine The electromagnetic spectrum Describe the longitudinal nature of sound waves State the approximate range of audible frequencies for a healthy human Show an understanding of the term ultrasound Describe an experiment to determine the speed of sound in air The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which include quiz competitions such as “Should you WAVE goodbye” where they have to decide if a passage is 100% factually correct or not whilst crucially being able to recognise the areas of this topic which need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams.

This is fully-resourced REVISION lesson that contains an engaging PowerPoint (98 slides) and associated differentiated worksheets and has been designed to challenge the students on their knowledge of the content in TOPIC 4 (Electricity and magnetism) of the Cambridge IGCSE Physics specification. The lesson includes a wide range of activities which aim to motivate the students whilst they assess their understanding of the content and recognise those areas which need further attention.
