Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science. This case study looks at how Flash animations were used to teach the difficult topic of sound.
Students find it difficult to imagine how sound waves move...
In the simulation students can watch a string vibrate in slow motion. You can wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator. The simulation also allows you to adjust the damping and tension.
Sample learning outcomes include:
*Discuss wave...
Does light behave like a wave, a stream of particles or both? Scientists at the University of Oxford are taking advantage of the particle-wave duality of light to carry out work developing exciting new technologies.
...
The aim of this Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) research study was to describe aspects of secondary school students’ ideas about light and to set these in the context of results from other studies in the area and of the history of ideas about light and...
Powerpoint presentation with instructions for creating a concrete tea light holder in Fusion 360. This could be used as a board led tutorial or printed as student instructions.
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Electromagnetic waves show a huge range in terms of frequency and wavelength, but the same basic principles underlie wave behaviour:...
A Catalyst article about how engineers use their understanding of sound waves to develop highly realistic sound systems for films, music systems and computer games. The same ideas can help people with eyesight and hearing problems. Sound waves are affected by their surroundings and the article examines this along...
Produced by Becta, this document contains examples which highlight ways in which ICT resources may be used effectively to support children's learning within secondary science.
The examples include:
- Sound and waves
- Forces and moments
- Disease and mortality
- Digestion and...
This video explains how to measure the speed of water waves using an alternative to the ripple tank wave experiment; water in a Gratnell tray. In order to calculate the speed of a wave, we need to measure the distance covered by a wave in the time it takes to cover that distance.
A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. Exercises on codes and signalling methods introduce ideas about communication. A study of the ear leads to sound communication systems such as radio and telephones. Lenses are studied and the formation of...
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Use ray diagrams to show how light refracts at a boundary between transparent media.
- Describe rules for the refraction of light at a boundary between transparent media.
- ...
