Waves and wave measurements

Waves and wave measurements

$5.46
(0)
Introduction to waves at GCSE/A level. This starts with an activity where they write a poem (!) to pre-assess words they already know. The PowerPoint then introduces the different measurements of a wave (frequency, amplitude etc) before introducing the wave equation (speed = frequency x wavelength) and a worksheet that uses the equation. It is handy to demonstrate the different types of waves (sound, light, slinky and even a Mexican wave in the class!)

Circuit symbols

Suitable for all levels, KS2, KS3 or KS4 (let's presume by KS5 they've got it!). Ask the class to name each symbol before revealing the answer. Some funny "symbols" too! Finish by constructing some simple circuits around the class and getting the class to draw them as diagrams in a "circus" style activity.
