Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Uses of Electromagnetic Waves for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. The lesson covers GCSE Physics 4.6.2.4 / Combined Science 6.6.2.4 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. • 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. Learning objectives: Describe the uses of different electromagnetic waves, including: Radio waves: communication, including television and radio. Microwaves: satellite communications and cooking food. Infrared: heating, cooking food and infrared cameras. Visible light: fibre optic communications. Ultraviolet: energy efficient lamps, sun tanning. X-Rays and Gamma Rays: medical imaging and treatments. Explain why each type of electromagnetic waves is suitable for its use.

Very comprehensive resource on waves and their uses.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at how waves are formed and different types of waves. We start with a differentiated photo starter where the pupils can create questions for themselves or the teacher to answer on coastal erosion. We then introduce waves by watching big wave surfers at Nazare in Portugal. This is where the largest onshore waves in the world are found. The pupils then make an annotated step by step guide to how ripples turn into large waves. We then look at what happens when the waves arrive on-shore. The pupils make an annotated diagram. We then look at constructive and destructive waves. The pupils make pop-up versions of both wave types to go into their books with annotations. We finish we a simple 4-mark question on the differences between constructive and destructive waves with some guidance. In a nutshell lesson includes: Photo interpretation question creator starter Annotated step by step diagrams of wave formation Diagram of the process of waves breaking Pop-up destructive and constructive waves. Video clips where appropriate GCSE-style question with guidance Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

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.
