Physics: Waves What is the keyword?
A fun PowerPoint activity perfect for an end of unit recap or revision. Similar to the gameshow ‘Catchphrase’ where students have to use the visual clues to guess the keyword or key term.
Contains 20 visual puzzles based on the AQA GCSE waves unit.
Works well with mini white boards with students working individually or in small teams.
Suitable for KS4 (14-16) but could also be used with advanced KS3 (11-14) classes.
