4/30/13 and 5/1/13

Date: 4/30/13 and 5/1/13

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Students will describe properties of EM waves the different kinds of EM waves.

Standards: UCP.1-3,5; A.1,2; B.2,4,6; D.1

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Explain the difference in how AM and FM waves work?

Lesson Outline: What is the difference between distance and displacement? What are the 3 measurable parts of a wave? What are the 3 ways waves can be changed? > What’s the difference between sound waves and light? > What are Electromagnetic waves? How are they made? If they carry energy, and energy is the ability to do work or cause change, what do they change? What did Hertz and Einstein find? > How fast are radiowaves? > Notes over 12.1 > Assign students into groups. Each group will find the frequency range for their EM wave group and list any special features or uses they have. Discuss as class. > Research and explain the difference in how AM and FM waves work for next time.
