- QOD: What are three different medium examples where waves can travel?
- I can: compare and contrast six different types of waves (sound vs. light, transverse vs. longitudinal, & mechanical vs. electromagnetic)
- Lesson:
- Wave Comparison Chart = Students must copy down the chart into their notebook. Each student will become an expert in their wave. Students will them rotate to find the answers to the rest of the chart. After the activity, ask one group of each of the waves to give their answers or write their answers on the board.
- Wave demo = What kind of wave do you think this will make? Make one pulse down the wave. What did you see? How did the gummy bears move? Where did the wave move? How did you get the energy down the tape?
- Wave drawing = Students will receive a white sheet of paper and they will draw both a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave. They will need to label the parts of the wave (crest, trough, rarefaction, compression, amplitude, and wavelength).
- QOD: What is the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
- I can: determine what variables affect wavelength and amplitude
- Lesson:
- Messed Up Waves Practice = Students will receive sentences that have been mixed up. The sentences must be corrected to make sense.
- Waves on a String - PHET = Students will work together to investigate transverse waves using the PHET simulator.
- QOD: How do the particles move in a transverse wave versus a longitudinal wave?
- I can: be proficient on my CFA over the nature of waves.
- Lesson:
- Nature of Waves CFA = Students will work individually to test themselves.
- Wave Bottles = Students will use a wave to bottle to make different types of waves and manipulate variables.
- Wave vs. Amplitude Practice
- QOD: What does the frequency of a wave mean?
- I can: manipulate the wave speed equation
- Lesson:
- Wave speed equation practice
- Tuning Fork Lab
- Introduction to Section 3
