Save planning time and deliver focused, exam-style revision with this ready-to-use resource for Edexcel GCSE Combined Science – Physics Paper 1, Unit 4, Lesson CP4b: Wave Speed.

Designed to support retrieval practice, calculation skills, equation rearrangement, exam technique and independent revision, this resource gives students repeated exposure to Edexcel-style command words and progressively more challenging questions.

What’s included:

  • 10 exam-style questions with progressive difficulty from 1 to 6 marks
  • A broad range of Edexcel-style command words, including state, give, identify, calculate, determine, compare and evaluate
  • Extensive practice applying and rearranging the key wave equations
  • Coverage of key CP4b Wave Speed content, including:
    - wave speed
    - frequency
    - wavelength
    - the relationship between frequency and wavelength
    - v=fλ
    - v=x/t
    - calculating wave speed
    - calculating frequency
    - calculating wavelength
    - distance and time calculations
    - unit conversions
    - standard form in wave calculations
    - interpreting wave data
  • A 6-mark data-analysis and evaluation question requiring students to calculate and compare wave speeds and assess a scientific statement
  • A detailed teacher mark scheme written in an Edexcel-style format
  • Three differentiated model answers: Working Towards (Grade 4), Secure (Grade 7), Exemplary (Grade 9)
  • A clear student-friendly mark scheme suitable for self-assessment, peer marking and independent revision

Editable resources included
Editable file is provided so that questions, wording and formatting can be adapted to suit your classes. PDF print-ready versions are also included for ease.

Formatted in “Lexend” typeface for accessibility
Lexend’s design is grounded in cognitive science and research, making it a thoughtful choice for improving reading comprehension and creating accessible content.

Ready to print, ready to teach, and designed to reduce teacher workload while developing students’ confidence with exam-style wave calculations and scientific reasoning.

This resource is ideal for lesson revision, homework, intervention, cover work, retrieval practice, independent study or preparation for Edexcel Combined Science Physics Paper 1.

It is designed to complement the separate CP4b Investigating Waves core practical resource and can be used alongside the other resources in this Edexcel Combined Science Physics Unit 4 Waves revision series.

More Unit 4 resources are available, with the complete Unit 4 Waves revision set also available as a discounted bundle.
