Observed waves in Year 7 Science
Start here
Focus on comparing longitudinal and transverse waves. Open support for “Compare Longitudinal and Transverse Waves”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 7 learners practise comparing longitudinal and transverse waves.
The activities include Compare Longitudinal and Transverse Waves, Define and Calculate Amplitude, Frequency, and Wavelength, Define and Measure Amplitude, Frequency, and Wavelength, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, lesson, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
