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.

This resource is a simple worksheet that you can use with your class once you have taught the wave speed calculation (wave speed = frequency x wavelength).
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.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Wave Speed (including measuring the speed of sound) and the wave equation (including the ripple tank and vibrating string required practicals) for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics.
I have split AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.2 / Combined Science 6.6.1.2 over two lessons because to teach it fully requires more than one lesson. This is part two and covers the parts of AQA GCSE Physics 4.6.1.2 / Combined Science 6.6.1.2 relating to wave speed, measuring the speed of sound, the wave equation and preparation and understanding of the required practicals.
All other aspects of 4.6.1.2 / 6.6.1.2 (i.e. wavelength, amplitude, frequency and period) are covered in the previous lesson except for: *“(Physics only) students should be able to show how changes in velocity, frequency and wavelength, in transmission of sound waves from one medium to another, are inter-related”.
As that particular exam spec point relates to sound, and is for GCSE Physics students only, I have included it in the lesson on Sound which is also for GCSE Physics only.
