This is a concise, fast-paced lesson designed to cover the key terminology associated with the waves topic at GCSE and ensure that students are able to recognise and use these terms in context. A number of terms, such a transverse, are known by students but rarely correctly used in written descriptions. Therefore, through a range of tasks and quick competitions, students will meet these terms, learn how to define them and then be asked to apply their knowledge to understanding check questions. This lesson has been written in conjuction with the lesson titled “Wave velocity” and students are challenged to keep an A - Z of key terms during both lessons so they can challenge themselves during revision points.
