Week of November 16-20:
We will begin Chapter 17: The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
--During this chapter we will learn what electromagnetic waves consist of, and how they behave differently from the mechanical waves of sound we learned about in Chapter 16.
--We will also describe the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays. One of the main things we need to know about the EM Spectrum is that the waves are placed in order of increasing frequency, and that the higher the frequency of the wave, the more energy it has.
--We will also discuss ways in which visible light is produced.
--We will continue working on our "Waves Unit" folder (includes work from Chapters 15 through 18). Students should be finished with all work from Chapter 16 by Tuesday, no exceptions. Students will be told what to add for Chapter 17 as we go.
The following should be in the Waves Unit folder for chapters 15 & 16:
Chapter 15:
--Chapter 15 questions from Unit Objective Sheet
--Drawing of transverse and longitudinal wave
--Workbook pages
--Chapter 15 Section 1 & 2 Quiz
Chapter 16:
--Chapter 16 questions from Unit Objective Sheet
--Chapter 16 Notes
--Scientific Article Summary
--Labeled Ear drawing
--Workbook pages
