Use one topic page, one starter track, and one focused challenge so the wave story stays bounded for a teacher-led lesson block.
This set is for the moment when learners need the oscillator-to-wave sequence to stay compact. It starts with the existing topic page for orientation, uses the authored waves starter track for the main order, then closes with challenge surfaces that are already part of the current concept pages.
About this guided path
Open the authored rationale, highlights, and educator framing only when you need more context than the next step.
The topic page frames the branch first, the starter track preserves the authored order from oscillation through sound, pitch-versus-loudness cues, beats, and the Doppler shift into standing-pattern and air-column-resonance ideas, the interference challenge forces one concrete target, and filtered challenges keep extension work inside the same wave path.
Educator note
Best for a short lab block where everyone should share one sequence before branching into extension practice.
Guided path
Each step still opens an existing topic page, concept bench, track, or challenge. This page only keeps the authored order legible.
4 steps across 9 concepts, with one clear first move.
Give the lesson one shared map before learners branch into the authored sequence.
Use the topic landing page to frame wavelength, Doppler shifts, interference, and standing patterns before the deeper ordered work starts.
Open this topic page before the linked concepts start accumulating saved progress.
Keep simple harmonic motion, wave speed, longitudinal sound, pitch-versus-loudness cues, beats, the Doppler shift, interference, standing waves, and air-column resonance in the existing authored order.
Simple Harmonic Motion is the next best step inside Waves.
Ask learners to deliberately land on a destructive-interference band after the wavelength story is already in place.
No saved challenge activity yet for this step.
When some learners need another task and others need review, open the existing challenge browser already filtered to the waves path.
No saved progress yet in the 6 linked concepts.
Check your starting point
Open the diagnostic only when you need help deciding whether to continue, restart, or skip ahead inside this path.
Entry diagnostic
Reuse the SHM quick test and the dark-band challenge to see whether the compact wave lesson should begin at the topic page or jump straight to extension practice.
Check whether this lesson set should start at orientation or extension
No saved diagnostic checks are available yet, so the opening step is still the best entry into the collection.
Uses the same local-first concept, challenge, and track facts already saved in this browser.
Check whether the repeated-motion foundation is already stable enough for a shorter wave entry.
No saved quick-test result yet.
Starting from Center bright, move the probe onto a dark region where the screen intensity almost vanishes.
No saved checkpoint attempt yet.
Path tools
Share or assign this path
Copy a stable collection link or save a compact bundle only when you need to relaunch or share the sequence elsewhere.
Share this collection
Copy a stable collection link. Links stay public and never include saved progress or private account state.
Shareable concept bundle
Keep the bundle lightweight: choose the collection entry points that matter, give the package a clear summary, and share one stable link back into the same topic, concept, track, and challenge surfaces that already exist.
Bundle progress below stays local-first and never rides along with the shared link.
Included entry points
Uncheck anything that should stay outside this shareable bundle.
Assignment mode
This stays intentionally small. The assignment stores the selected guided-collection steps and an optional note, then learners reopen the same concept, track, topic, and challenge surfaces through one stable entry point.
Sign in to save a stable assignment link. Signed-out bundle sharing above still stays public.
Save the current draft to mint one stable assignment entry point for this exact selection.
Launch starts on Orient with the waves topic page. Assignment completion is derived from the same concept, starter-track, and challenge facts already used elsewhere in the product.
