ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
RELEVANCE: How do I interact with the electromagnetic spectrum?
NGSSS: SC.912.P.10.1; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.WHST.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-Identify the general properties of all electromagnetic waves.
-compare and contrast the types of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum according to wavelength and frequency.
-conduct an investigation that determines the flame color of metals.
-continue quarterly project how does pH affect plant growth.
BELL RINGER: Density problem (P3) Kahoot.it of EM spectrum for periods 2 and 8.
VOCABULARY: wavelength, frequency, speed, electromagnetic spectrum, hertz
HOME LEARNING: HL 3 CER for lab
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
We reviewed our content connections with other courses. We are looking at sequencing, which is related to time lines done in Parenting classes and in Social Sciences.
The bell ringer for Period 3 was the Density Logic Puzzle. Other periods did a Kahoot.it on the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
We continued in our planning for the ADI lab Flame Test. Student actually completed the lab. We will continue the lab write-up next week.
SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/DI
Students who compete work early should go to CK-12.org (log in with username and password) and do the physics simulation light wave.
HOTS:
-Why do gamma rays cause more damage than microwaves?
-Based on what you’ve learned about the EM Spectrum, justify a situation where it might be beneficial to use gamma rays or x-rays and explain why.
EXIT STRATEGY: write question for the experiment.
