SPS9. Students will investigate the properties of waves.
a. Recognize that all waves transfer energy. b. Relate frequency and wavelength to the energy of different types of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves. c. Compare and contrast the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical (sound) waves. d. Investigate the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction. e. Relate the speed of sound to different mediums. f. Explain the Doppler Effect in terms of everyday interactions. EQ: How can you compare and contrast different types of waves? Monday GMAS Testing in the morning resulted in an abbreviated schedule for all classes. Students reviewed work from Friday (Using notes from Waves and Electromagnetic Spectrum complete the practice working in small groups) and starting exploring how to use a spectroscope to break visible light into its separate wavelengths of color (ROY G BIV). Tuesday Mechanical Wave Machine Lab. Students worked in small groups to construct a mechanical wave machine using tape, bamboo skewers, ring stands, clamps, and different masses for the ends of the skewers to change the energy of the waves (mini marshmallows, gummy bears, and gum-balls). Wednesday Compare and contrast the different wave machines and and their energy based on mass. Review of frequency, wavelength, and wave speed. Thursday Practice for wavelengths and Electromagnetic Spectrum. Complete the IR on Waves.

The plans are as follows. EQ: How can you compare and contrast different types of waves? Monday or Tuesday Review waves from Star Castle Field Trip (transverse, longitudinal, mediums to transfer waves, modeling waves). Watch short video clip about waves and visit website for waves. Answer the following in small group discussion: After viewing the information in science and using the pHet simulation please comment below the following: 1. The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves. 2. What is amplitude? 3. How do you calculate frequency? 4. What are the parts of a wave? (crest, trough, etc.) 5. What are the different mediums that waves may travel? 6. Is light a particle or a wave? Give an example from the class discussion. Wednesday Complete the Wave on a String Lab Thursday Complete the Wave on a String 2 Lab page 1 Friday Using notes from Waves and Electromagnetic Spectrum complete the practice working in small groups.
SPS8. Students will determine relationships among force, mass, and motion.
a. Calculate velocity and acceleration. b. Apply Newton’s three laws to everyday situations by explaining the following: Inertia Relationship between force, mass and acceleration Equal and opposite forces c. Relate falling objects to gravitational force d. Explain the difference in mass and weight. e. Calculate amounts of work and mechanical advantage using simple machines. Monday: Formula review-present different questions and determine which formula would be used and in what unit the answer should be expressed. Watch a NASA video discussing the difference between work and power. Work is force X distance. (W = F x d) Practice calculating work. Power is work/time (P = W/t). Create a chair train to discuss "work." Practice calculating work and power. work_and_power_math_skills_science.pdf Download File mechanical_advantage_math_skills_science.pdf Download File Tuesday: Identify simple machines and practice calculating mechanical advantage. Wednesday: Review for Force, Mass and Motion Post Test Thursday: Field Trip to Starcastle for STEM lesson: Music, Math and Roller Skating. Friday: Force, Mass, and Motion Post Test and Waves Pre Test on USA Test Prep. |
