evaluate, with reference to evidence, claims about motion, sound and light-related phenomena and associated technologies.use algebraic and graphical representations to calculate, analyse and predict measurable quantities associated with linear and wave motion. use science inquiry skills to design, conduct and analyse safe and effective investigations into linear motion and wave phenomena, and to communicate methods and findings.understand how scientific models and theories have developed and are applied to improve existing, and develop new, technologies.understand that waves transfer energy and that a wave model can be used to explain the behaviour of sound and light.understand that Newton’s Laws of Motion describe the relationship between the forces acting on an object and its motion.Unit 2: Linear Motion and Waves Learning Outcomes They develop skills in relating graphical representations of data to quantitative relationships between variables, and they continue to develop skills in planning, conducting and interpreting the results of primary and secondary investigations. Students develop their understanding of motion and wave phenomena through laboratory investigations. They investigate how scientific knowledge is used to offer valid explanations and reliable predictions, and the ways in which it interacts with social, economic, cultural and ethical factors. Through the investigation of appropriate contexts, students explore how international collaboration, evidence from a range of disciplines and many individuals, and the development of ICT and other technologies have contributed to developing understanding of motion and waves and associated technologies. This leads to an explanation of light phenomena, including polarisation, interference and diffraction, in terms of a wave model.Ĭontexts that could be investigated in this unit include technologies such as accelerometers, motion-detectors, photo radar, GPS, energy conversion buoys, music, hearing aids, echo locators, fibre optics, DVDs and lasers, and related areas of science and engineering such as sports science, car and road safety, acoustic design, noise pollution, seismology, bridge and building design. Students investigate common wave phenomena, including waves on springs, and water, sound and earthquake waves, and compare the behaviour of these waves with the behaviour of light. Students describe linear motion in terms of position and time data, and examine the relationships between force, momentum and energy for interactions in one dimension. In this unit, students develop an appreciation of how an understanding of motion and waves can be used to describe, explain and predict a wide range of phenomena.
