Light, sound and waves videos
Remote teaching support for 14-16
A selection of videos to use with your KS4 students (ages 14-16) to support and develop their understanding of Light, Sound and Waves whilst educating remotely.
You can download this sheet that goes with the video:
Worksheet for drawing lens diagrams
The Doppler Effect - students could very carefully try this at home using a mobile phone instead of a buzzer (and a tone generator such as found in the free Physics Toolbox Suite app)
Measuring the speed of sound in air (a recommended app to use with this is Phyphox and the Audio Spectrum function).
Auditory range - you can use this video to test your auditory range at home!
An introduction to the Electromagnetic Spectrum - in addition to this video, the Nasa website also has additional pages and videos to explore each part of the electromagnetic spectrum individually.
Earthquakes and seismographs - a nice introduction before leading into the topic of S & P waves. Some questions for S & P waves can be found on Isaac Physics.
