ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

NGSSS: SC.912.P.10.18

BENCHMARK(S):
-Explore the theory of electromagnetism by comparing and contrasting the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of wavelength, frequency, and energy, and relate them to phenomena and applications. 


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:
-explore the theory of electromagnetism by comparing and contrasting the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
-describe the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of frequency, wavelength and energy.

BELL RINGER: Students answered questions about the EM Spectrum as their bellringer. Questions 1-10 were reviewed. The site with the questions is:Electromagnetic Spectrum Quiz

VOCABULARY: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, hertz, crest, trough

HOME LEARNING: Study for the exam on Chapters 5 and 6 (periodic table, history of atomic theory, quantum theory, electromagnetic spectrum);/work on your science fair paper/project

INFORMATION PRESENTED IN CLASS:
-We reviewed the bell ringer and home learning 5.

-Students completed the Cornell notes, with their summary and teacher-like questions. Use the added pages in the back of your notebook to help you write quality questions. Be sure your summary is inclusive of all you learned about the topic, not just a basic statement.

-Data chats were concluded.

-Students attempted to work on a virtual lab on the electromagnetic spectrum, but technological differences made that impossible. Those that wish to complete the activity at home will receive extra credit. Visit Dr. Gayden's Science Zone, and click on the link for chemistry students to access the lab. You can find the handouts below. 

-Don't forget to study for the exam! See home learning above to know what information from your text and notes to review.
