Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Required Practical - Waves
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Required practical 8 - waves on a string (AT skills 4)
  2. Students should be able to describe a method to measure the speed of ripples on a water surface. (Req Prac)
  3. (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.
  4. Required practical 8 - waves ripple tank (AT skills 4)
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Wave speed: the speed at which a wave travels (1)
  • Frequency: the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time (1)
  • Wavelength: distance between successive crests of a wave (1)
Links: Literacy, Numeracy, SMSC, British values
Memory Anchor:

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What method would you use to work out the speed of ripples on a water surface?
    speed = frequency x wavelength To work out frequency: Count how many waves pass a point over a 10 second period of time. Wavelength: measure the length of 10 waves.
  2. (Physics only) What affects a sound wave?
    (Physics only) The velocity, frequency and wavelength.
Identify questions for high, middle, low and identify questioning techniques- Challenge questions

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
