Year 9
Oscillations
Define oscillations, measure time period, calculate frequency, and use straight-line graph methods to find unknown quantities.
Part of Year 9 Physics Foundations.
Topic Overview
What students will cover
This topic helps students connect timing measurements, repeated motion, and graph methods. Students should become comfortable with the language of amplitude, period, and frequency and with using data to extract a relationship.
Keep the transition from measurement to graph work clear so that the mathematics stays attached to the physical situation.
