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: Complete the labeling of the seven types of electromagnetic waves AND the coloring (in the correct order/with the correct colors) of wave 4 on the handout.
VOCABULARY: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, hertz, crest, trough
HOME LEARNING: work on your science fair paper/project.
INFORMATION PRESENTED IN CLASS:
Once the bell ringer (Wavestown hand out) was completed, students watched a BrainPop on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. You can find the handouts for the lesson below. While you cannot watch the BrainPop movie here, you CAN see a video that presents the same information here. Click the link below to see a short video on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Once you view the video, you will take notes. Be sure to watch the video below to find and record all pertinent notes in your notebook. The information printed in red is what should be recorded in your notebook.

| This page depicts the electromagnetic spectrum. Be sure to place this in your notebook with the reading passages for the electromagnetic spectrum. |
 |
| These thee pages are background reading information for the electromagnetic spectrum. |
 |
| Complete the identification of the types of radiation (1-7) and color the spectrum for 4. Be sure the colors are in the correct order (from lowest frequency to highest frequency). |
 |
| Use this page to identify the different examples of each type of wave of the electromagnetic spectrum. The handout tells you how many examples of each type of war there are in the picture of Wavestown. |
