Energy waves in Year 9 Science
Start here
Focus on electromagnetic spectrum and ultrasound uses. Start with “Describe How Waves Transfer Information by Microphones and Speakers”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 9 learners practise electromagnetic spectrum and ultrasound uses.
The activities include Describe How Waves Transfer Information by Microphones and Speakers, Describe Medical Uses of Ultrasound, Describe Non-Medical Uses of Ultrasound, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, teaching, lesson. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
