Take the stress out of planning your next GCSE Physics lesson with this complete, ready-to-teach Pearson Edexcel lesson on Using Long Wavelengths (CP5c).

Students discover how electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life, from radio and television broadcasting to satellite communication, microwave cooking, thermal imaging and optical fibres. They will explore why different waves are suitable for different purposes, investigate absorption, transmission and reflection, and apply their knowledge to unfamiliar exam-style scenarios.

Everything is prepared for you – simply print the worksheets, open the PowerPoint and teach!

What makes this lesson amazing?

  • Ready-to-teach: A fully structured PowerPoint with clear explanations and teacher guidance.
  • Saves planning time: No need to create your own slides, worksheets or assessment questions.
  • Two differentiated worksheets: Standard and scaffolded versions to support different learning needs.
  • Minimal printing: Each worksheet version fits onto a single A4 sheet.
  • Real-world applications: Students explore radio, microwaves, infrared and visible light in everyday technology.
  • Clear visual explanations: Diagrams illustrate satellite communication, microwave cooking, thermal imaging and optical fibres.
  • Interactive mini-whiteboard questions: Quickly check understanding and identify misconceptions.
  • Worked calculations: Step-by-step wavelength calculations using the wave equation.
  • Exam-style practice: Students apply their knowledge to unfamiliar situations, including a rescue-at-night scenario.
  • Answers included: Complete teacher answer slides for quick green-pen self-marking.
  • Assessment built in: Knowledge recall, a hinge question and an exit ticket help you check progress.
  • No practical required: No equipment, technician booking or practical preparation needed.

Less time planning, less time marking and more time teaching engaging, relevant GCSE Physics!
