Guides 25–27 of 27

Physics

Beginner

Waves, sound and hearing

When a school announcement reaches the back of a room, air from the loudspeaker has not travelled all the way into every listener’s ear.

Learning outcome: Distinguish particle motion from wave motion, calculate wavelength and echo distance, and explain the main stages of hearing using a labelled paper model.

Earth, weather & environment

Intermediate

Weather, climate and reading trends in data

One cool afternoon does not settle a climate question, and a smooth graph does not remove uncertainty.

Learning outcome: Calculate temperature anomalies and changes between period means, identify measurement artefacts and distinguish an observed trend from a forecast or causal explanation.

Physics

Intermediate

Work, energy and power: follow transfers and rates

Lifting the same box slowly or quickly changes the required average power, while the ideal energy transfer can stay the same.

Learning outcome: Calculate signed work, kinetic and gravitational potential energy, distinguish energy from power, and test whether a mechanical-energy shortcut is justified.
