Chapter III Road Map
8.PS4.1 - Waves and their properties: Develop and use models to represent the basic properties of waves including frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and speed
Learning Intentions:
Identify the properties of waves including frequency, amplitude, wavelength and speed
Describe the relationships between different properties of waves such as wavelength and frequency
8.ETS1.2 - Technology, the solar system, and the Universe: Research and communicate information to describe how data from technologies (telescopes, spectroscopes, satellites, and space probes) provide information about objects in the solar system and universe.
Learning Intentions:
Describe how Electromagnetic Waves have increased our knowledge of the universe and Solar System
8.PS4.2 - Mechanical and electromagnetic waves: Compare and contrast mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves based on refraction, reflection, transmission, absorption, and their behavior through a vacuum and/or various media.
Learning Intentions:
Identity and compare the different types of waves
Describe the ways in which waves behave including refraction, reflection, transmission and absorption
Identify the types of Electromagnetic Waves
Describe the properties and uses of Electromagnetic Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum
