GCSE Electronics Amplifiers L1— presentation, worksheet & videos covering waveforms, oscillosco

Learning Objectives
• Understand the function of an amplifier
• Label key features of a waveform
• Calculate amplitude using an oscilloscope trace

A complete GCSE Electronics lesson on Amplifiers, designed to be clear, engaging, and ready to teach.

This resource introduces students to how amplifiers work, how signals are represented as waveforms, and how to interpret oscilloscope displays to calculate amplitude. Concepts are broken down step-by-step with visual support, practical-style questions, and embedded videos to bring abstract ideas to life.

Written specifically for WJEC GCSE Electronics, but fully suitable for any specification covering waveforms, oscilloscopes, and amplification.
