****ADD A FOLDER TO YOUR PORTFOLIO TITLED "2.5 WAVES." AND SAVE ALL WORK IN YOUR FOLDER****
Goal Standard: Students will understand that waves such as electromagnetic, sound seismic, and water have common characteristics and unique properties
How does a wave's structure affect its function?
Learning Experience:
Waves Inference: How Did They Do That? (must-do)
Waves Mini Lesson (must-do)
Light Waves: Rainbows (must-do)
Sound Waves: Rubens Tubes (must-do)
Waves Exploration Lab (should do)
Comparing Wave Types: Infographic (should-do)
Create Your Own Wave Demonstration (aspire to-do)
Evidence:
Waves Quiz to determine how well you understand the how the structure of the waves affects how it functions
Watch the mini-lesson from either Schmidt or Fryska. Take a picture of your notes and save it to your Waves folder.
REMINDER: Note templates can be found on the ADDITIONAL RESOURCES page.
Assignment: Use the experiment and the reading to understand how the properties of light waves work to create rainbows. Use this information to answer the following question at the end of the lab: Think back to when you have seen a rainbow in lawn sprinklers... how does that happen? Make sure to answer the questions in the Conclusion portion of the lab.
Assignment: Watch these videos and use your schema on sound waves to explain how Ruben's Tubes work in your own words. You can use specific evidence from the videos to help you do this or any other diagrams, reading, and videos you can find that will help you. Open the picture below using Kami and annotate it to show how a Ruben's tube demonstrates sound waves AND the properties/how sound waves travel.
Use this simulation to help you dig deeper into the characteristics of waves. This should really help you understand how the wave's structure affects its function.
Assignment: Use your schema and the rubric below to create an info graphic that compares and contrasts the two types of waves AND how we use waves in our daily lives. Be sure to include evidence like specific vocabulary and scientific concepts from what you have learned and the activities you engaged in to support your thinking.
Similar to the music video you watched to start Lesson 2.5, get creative and find a way to demonstrate how waves work. Record your demo and explain how it model shows how waves work in your video!
Your video explanation need to include:
your demonstration
the specific type of wave/waves that are shown (longitudinal/transverse)
the wave properties it is demonstrating
how it is demonstrating each property
As always, watch and comment on peer's videos to challenge, push, and encourage each other's thinking.
The properties of light (transverse) waves
The properties of sound (longitudinal) waves
Different ways to demonstrate both kinds of waves
How we depend on waves in our daily lives
THAT'S THE END OF LESSON 2.5. ENSURE ALL WORK IS SAVED IN YOUR FOLDER, SUBMIT YOUR FOLDER ON GOOGLE CLASSROOM, SHOW MASTERY ON YOUR ASSESSMENT.
