Wave Speed Equation and Waves Required Practical: a complete, no-prep PowerPoint lesson for AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (Trilogy), with exam questions, worked examples, tasks and answers – no worksheets needed.
Covers wave speed, measuring the speed of sound in air, the wave equation v = fλ with worked calculations, and preparing for and understanding the waves required practical with the ripple tank and vibrating string.
AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.2 / Combined Science 6.6.1.2 is too big for one lesson, so I’ve split it over two, and this is part two. Wavelength, amplitude, frequency and period are in the previous lesson, Wave Properties. The one Physics-only point, on sound waves moving from one medium to another, is in my Sound Waves and Hearing lesson. This lesson is also in both my Waves Topic Bundles:
GCSE Physics (16 lessons): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/waves-gcse-physics-12747109
Combined Science (8 lessons): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bundle-waves-topic-combined-science-12706442
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. This high quality lesson includes 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 video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• 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 lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

This resource is a simple worksheet that you can use with your class once you have taught the period of a wave calculation (period of a wave = 1 / frequency)
This worksheets helps students to:
Convert units
Simple calculations
Worded calculation questions
Rearranging the equation questions
Application questions
This can also be used as homework to help further embed the knowledge being taught.
We have worksheets for the following physics equations:
Paper 1:
Energy
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass x (Speed)2)
Elastic Potential Energy = 0.5 x Spring Constant x (Extension)2
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength x Height
Change in Thermal Energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
Efficiency calculation
Power = Energy Transferred / Time
Power = Work Done / Time
Electricity
Charge Flow = Current x Time
Potential Difference = Current x Resistance
Power = Potential Difference x Current
Power = (Current)2 x Resistance
Energy Transferred = Charge Flow x Potential Difference
Particle Model of Matter
Density = Mass / Volume
Energy for a Change of State = Mass x SLH
Paper 2:
Forces
Weight = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength
Force = Spring Constant x Extension
Speed = Distance / Time
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time
Resultant Force = Mass x Acceleration
Work Done = Force x Distance
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Waves
Period of a Wave = 1 / Frequency
Wavespeed = Frequency x Wavelength
Magnetism
Force = Magnetic Flux Density x Current X Length
Thank you.
Using our meticulously crafted and tailored worksheets, you can effectively introduce, teach, and assess your students. The worksheets begin with brief practice exercises focusing on essential units of concepts such as period, frequency, speed, and wavelength. Following this, students will label the different parts of waves using basic wave terminology. As they progress, students will engage in problem-solving tasks that require calculations related to these aspects.
Step by step solution of all questions is also provided.
This lesson on progressive waves covers the basics of waves such as key terms and equations from GCSE, how to read an oscilloscope and calculating wave intensity. Designed for Cambridge (CIE) unit 9702, for 2022 onward and 2025 specification.
