Bristol Free School

Term 1: P6 - Waves

P6 - Wave behaviour is common in both natural and man-made systems. Waves carry energy from one place to another and can also carry information. Designing comfortable and safe structures such as bridges, houses and music performance halls requires an understanding of mechanical waves. Modern technologies such as imaging and communication systems show how we can make the most of electromagnetic waves.

Each unit is assessed by a 40 mark 'GCSE-style' test which also assesses scientific and mathematical skills
