Bundle: Waves (Combined Science)

Bundle of 8 complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers on Waves for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science , covering the complete topic for Combined Science.

This bundle contains all the lessons needed for the Waves topic in AQA Combined Science. If you are teaching AQA GCSE Physics then you need the larger bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/waves-gcse-physics-12747109

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. These high quality lessons include 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 videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.

Teaching Order

1. Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
2. Wave Properties (Wavelength, Amplitude, Frequency, Period)
3. Wave Speed Equation and Required Practicals: Ripple Tank & Vibrating String
4. Electromagnetic Spectrum
5. Refraction
6. Absorbing, Emitting and Dangers of Electromagnetic Waves
7. Uses of Electromagnetic Waves
8. Required Practical: Infrared

What’s Included in each lesson:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.where applicable
• 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 lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
