Learning Targets:

• I can define refraction, reflection, diffraction, and interference.

• I can explain how wave behaviors differ in mechanical waves versus electromagnetic waves.

• I can analyze real-world scenarios to determine which wave behavior is present.

Standards:

SPS9. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of waves.

c. Develop models based on experimental evidence that illustrate the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.

Agenda:

1. Opening- Read through lab protocol and generate questions

2. I Do: Secure the Foundation- Review wave concepts learned so far that are relevant to lab

3. We Do: Wave Behavior Stations

4. You Do: Complete Post-Lab Analysis Questions
