Waves and their Applications
Waves and their Applications
How do wave properties help us understand their behavior and interactions with different materials?
Adaptive Perseverance: Completing tasks despite challenges and responding productively to feedback.
Learner’s Mindset: Seeking new knowledge and setting goals for self-improvement.
Communication: Effectively conveying thoughts and ideas in various forms.
Critical Thinking: Analyzing problems to gain insights and inform solutions.
Collaboration: Working effectively as a team to address challenges.
How do different materials affect the speed of waves?
What are the differences between reflection, refraction, and absorption of waves?
How can we use wave properties to design better communication systems?
Students will design a simple communication system using principles of wave behavior.
Critical Thinking: Analyzing and comparing wave behaviors to draw evidence-based conclusions.
Problem-Solving: Applying wave knowledge to design experiments and create communication solutions.
Experimental Design: Planning and conducting experiments to observe wave-material interactions.
Communication: Sharing ideas and results clearly through various forms of expression.
MS PS 4-1:: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
MS PS 4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
