Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is a wave?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Waves transfer energy from one place to another, but generally not matter (particles). Without energy the water level is said to be at the equilibrium point. When the energy is increased the displacement from equilibrium point will increase. The maximum displacement is called the amplitude. The highest points of a (transverse) wave are known as peaks, the lowest points are called troughs. The distance between like places on a wave, such as peak-to-peak or trough-to-trough, is known as the wavelengths. Wavelength is measured in metres (m). SET HOMEWORK: Wordsearch

Remember to check for PROGRESS

Starter Activity	Differentiation and Challenge question/task
Students to copy and complete the keywords. Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes; Discuss the scientific meanings of the words. Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords. Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'. What does it show? How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?

Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
