Oscillations and Simple Harmonic Motion mind maps

Oscillations and Simple Harmonic Motion mind maps

These user-made maps bring together different parts of the unit. SHM sets out definitions including amplitude, period and phase difference. One Oscillations map includes pendulums, damping, experiments, formulae and graphs. The map called Physics also brings together definitions, equations, resonance and damping.

How to use the maps

Start with SHM if you want to check the vocabulary before moving on to graphs and formulae. Read a branch, then cover it and try to recall the ideas. Return to the map to check what you missed.

For a narrower topic, look at Pendulum Experiment or Free vs. Forced Vibration. If you want to practise recall after reading a map, switch to flashcards on the unit page. A quiz can give you another way to check your understanding. Choose a branch and start exploring.
