Physics Activity - Standing Waves in a Microwave Oven
In this activity, students experimentally determine the positions of the nodes and antinodes when a standing wave forms in a microwave oven using a chocolate bar. From their results, students can actually calculate the speed of light with surprising accuracy.

Physics Activity - Graphing Simple Harmonic Motion
This free document can be used as a companion handout with the “IB DP Physics Topic 4 Presentation - Waves”. It is a template for students to predict simple harmonic motion graphs for position, velocity, acceleration, force and energy. This activity can be combined with a demonstration of simple harmonic motion. Using a data logger with a force sensor and motion detector, the position, velocity, acceleration and force of a suspended mass oscillating on a vertical spring can be plotted.

Teaching style
Learning is a dynamic process where new knowledge must be built on connections already established in the brain. The teaching resources I have created are designed with questions and tasks meant to prompt student’s thinking and reflection on what they know, and to connect new ideas and understanding to their existing knowledge in logical steps. I use clear and engaging visuals to help illustrate ideas, and streamlined consistent formatting to avoid distraction from what is most important. I believe that to secure new knowledge, students must be given opportunities to apply the newly presented ideas and skills to novel scenarios and problems. These opportunities are built into the resources I have created.
