Science - Wave Interactions Foldable 1/12/2021

Teacher: Robert Cannon and Patrick Mickey

Unit/Session:  Unit 9 - Light:  RRDAT Models and Compare/Contrast Waves

Date of Instruction:  1/12/21

Standard/s: 

S8P4a - Ask questions to develop explanations about the similarities and differences between electromagnetic and mechanical waves.

S8P4g - Develop and use models to demonstrate the effects that lenses have on light and their possible tech applications.

S8P4d - Develop and use a model to compare and contrast how light and sound waves are reflected, refracted, absorbed, diffracted or transmitted through various materials.

Learning Target/ Teaching Point: 

I can compare and contrast the behaviors of light waves and sound waves, so that I can describe how they interact with different substances.

Success Criteria: 

o Recall the meaning of the word propagate and which wave can go through empty space or through mediums and the particle movement of transverse waves as either parallel or perpendicular.

o List the 5 major differences between light and sound.

o Explain the effects of lenses on light, and how we can use them in our lives.

o Draw examples of Transmission, Absorption, Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction as it relates to light.

Opening (I Do)

INDEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE/DIFFERENTIATION:

Students will go back and complete a full comparison of light waves and sound waves, outlining 3 things in common and 5 major differences.

Closing  (We Check)

Describe the instructional process that will be used to close the lesson and check for student understanding .
