Course Name: Modified Physical Science 

Monday


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

a. Analyze and interpret data to identify the relationships among wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves and amplitude and energy in mechanical waves. 

b. Ask questions to compare and contrast the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves. 

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

Learning Targets:

SPS9a:  We are learning to explain the relationship between amplitude and energy in a mechanical wave based on data analysis and interpretation.

SPS9b: We are learning to compare/contrast characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.

Success Criteria: I will know I am successful when I can . . .

  • unchecked

    Identify, define, and draw longitudinal waves, labeling all parts.

  • unchecked

    Understand that mechanical waves can be longitudinal or transverse.

  • unchecked

    Relate the energy of a mechanical wave to its amplitude. 

  • unchecked

     Explain the difference in electromagnetic and mechanical waves in terms of medium and motion
