An activity about sound waves. Learners watch the video and match the sounds they are hearing to the correct description and wave diagram. This activity allows pupils to deepen their understanding of sound waves particularly the links between amplitude and volume and between frequency and pitch. To enhance the activity pupils can check their answers using the Google form. This allows them to see where they have made mistakes and gives them a chance to correct their work. To create a differentiated version simply leave the descriptions attached to the wave diagrams when cutting out the cards.

I have created an activity where pupils can create their own dot map and try and find the source of a cholera outbreak. Each pupil gets a blank map and a celebrity card. Each celebrity card tells them where they live, where they get their food and water and if they died. By comparing the 32 celebrities and filling in the map the pupils can find the source of the outbreak. There are also two anomalies for the more able pupils to try and solve. There is a PowerPoint to introduce the lesson and explain how to complete the activity. The worksheet and video links can be used to extend the activity into an hour long lesson.
