GCSE AQA Physics - Ultrasound, magnets, electromagnets, light & sound w/sheets (13 w/sheets)

(0)
The ultrasound 7 w/sheets cover what ultrasounds are, how they work, examples of uses in medicine (kidney stones/ foetal checks), how to work out distance between boundaries (using example questions), differences between x-ray, CT scans and ultrasounds. It finishes with 10 questions for the students to consolidate what they have learned. Made these sheets specifically for revision with higher tier students (turned into a little A5 revision booklet). You could set it as a home work booklet. I also used the sheets with lower ability/ struggling students to help consolidate the main scientific information they need. They liked the sheets because they were easy to understand and easy to access the scientific material. Magnets and electromagnets (2 sheets) - nice mind map on magnets and a quick fill in sheet after they have completed the work. Great for class activity as a starter, plenary, home work, or as a revision card. Even used with top set KS3 who loved it. Light and sound help w/sheets to help consolidate information from lessons.
