Learning Science Anywhere (1/26/15 - 1/30/15)

Please use this section of the blog if you are absent or on distance learning to help you understand what is happening in science class any day of the week.  A new issue of Learning Science Anywhere will come out weekly.

  • QOD: How do you think wave speed and frequency are different?
  • I can: measure wavelength and amplitude as well as find the frequency.
  • Lesson
    • Students will draw a chart in their journal that represent how much energy different waves contain
    • Students will measure with a ruler the wavelength and amplitude of different waves.  They will then use a calculator to find the frequency of the waves
    • Early Finishers = Students will look up information about tsunamis and their relation to waves

  • QOD: What frequencies do you think would be the hardest to hear and why?
  • I can: accurately create a hearing response curve graph
  • Lesson:
    • Students will be given a survey on a paper provided by the STEMconnector.
    • Students will go to a hearing response website to determine what pitch they can hear best and worst.  Students will then create a hearing response graph for their own hearing and write a response about comparing theirs with their classmate

  • QOD: How do you make the wave speed faster?
  • I can: determine wave speed by manipulating the equation
Thursday, January 29, 2015

  • QOD: What does each of the symbols represent in the wave speed equation?
  • I can: define reflection, refraction, and diffraction
  • Lesson: 
    • Students will be taking notes and drawing pictures representing the three vocabulary words: reflection, refraction, and diffraction
    • Students will play Kahoot to review for their quiz on Friday over Wave Properties
Friday, January 30, 2015
  • QOD: Draw a wave with a high amplitude and a long wavelength.
  • I can: be proficient on the properties of waves and explain resonance & interference.
  • Lesson: 
    • Students will be taking a quiz over wave properties.
    • Students will be taking notes over three vocabulary words: interference, resonance, and standing waves.
