Pocket-Sized Waves Revision Book (specifically for AQA Core Physics)

After folding, this becomes an 8 page book which summarises everything students need to know for the waves topic of AQA core physics (P1.5 The use of waves for communication and to provide evidence that the universe is expanding).

File available in .pdf and .jpg. Choose the one that is easiest for you to print. Print on A4 paper (for a pocket-sized book) or A3 paper (for an A5-sized book).

After printing, fold according to the following instructions. I gave one to each of my pupils and folded one in front of the class so that they could follow along. The more careful the folding is done and sharper the folds are creased, the easier the forming of the book is. I would suggest running a ruler across the fold to make it sharp.

The folding:
1. Turn the paper writing side down, fold in half, open it, and fold in half the other way. Open.
2. Turn the page over so that it is writing side up. Fold the short edges into the centre (so it looks like a leaflet). Open.
3. Fold the paper in half (along your previous fold) so that it looks like A5 if you printed on A4 paper (or looks like A4 if you printed it on A5).
4. Cut into the folded edge along the centre fold until you get to the folds you made in step 2. Open. You should now have an A3 paper with a slit in the centre.
5. Fold the paper in half (so it is long) and (holding the sides) press the sides in together, forming the book.
