Waves Day 4

Seismic Waves

comic credit: www.wired.com

Objective

What: SWBAT synthesize examples of the two types of Seismic Waves.
How: Students will synthesize a comic strip demonstrating how the two types of waves transfer energy, using the terms transverse, longitudinal, wave and transfer of energy.
Why: To be critical thinkers about waves, we need to examine the different ways that waves transfer energy. 


I. Do Now
(A quick review on the two types of waves: Transverse Waves, Longitudinal Waves)

II. Earthquakes video.  Complete this worksheet while you watch.

III. Watch this video clip, and this one, and this one.  After viewing, answer these Q's.

IV. Brainpop on earthquakes

V.  Read over this Review on types of seismic waves. Take notes on what you read. 

VI. Make your own earthquake with this simulator
Answer these questions after the simulation

VII. Complete the Bitesize seismic waves activity



VIII. Exit Slip
Use Stripgenerator and the 4 vocab terms transverse, longitudinal, wave and transfer of energy to create a comic to show:
1. How P-waves and S-waves transfer energy through earth's crust. Show how they both start and the differences in how they travel.

Sound Waves Quiz

1. Do Now: 
- 10 minutes to study for the quiz using your notecards
- leave your 2 homework/classwork assignments out on your desk from this week, and your notecards.  I will check them during the quiz

2. Login to schoology and take the Sound Waves Quiz.


3. Take Mr. Gonzalez's survey. 


4. Create your own comic strip to show how sound waves travel through particles!
- Click on create new strip (red button on the right side of the page)


5. Read about the Colossal Squid (yes that's it's real name).

Waves Day 3

Sound Waves

Sound waves from a stationary object

Sound waves stack together when a jet goes supersonic, causing the characteristic sonic boom

Objective:

What: SWBAT describe longitudinal waves in the form of a sound wave.

How: Students will complete a comic strip demonstrating how a longitudinal wave moves through particles in the form of a sound wave.

Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to connect our knowledge of waves to the ways that they move through the world we see.  

Agenda

1. Do Now

2. Breaking the speed of sound

3. Bill Nye Sound

4. Sound Notes

5. Sound Reading

6. Comic Strip

7. HW Vocab Note Cards DUE FRIDAY

Waves Day 2

Electromagnetic vs. Mechanical Waves

both transfer energy in their own way

Objective:

What: SWBAT describe differences between Electromagnetic and Mechanical waves.

How: Students will complete an exit slip where they list examples of mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves and characteristics of each.

Why: To be critical thinkers we need to understand these two types of waves and the ways that they transfer energy.  

Agenda

1. Do Now

2. Waves video here

3. Bitesize intro to Waves

4. Bitesize on Electromagnetic Waves

5. How microwaves work

6. Bitesize intro to waves reading

7. Brainpop Waves
8. Bitesize Test
9. Exit Slip

Waves Day 1

Intro to Waves

Waves are totally pushy...

Objective

What: SWBAT describe and analyze examples of how waves transfer energy.
How: SWBAT correctly answer CST questions about energy transfer through waves and synthesize a situation in which waves are used to transfer energy with 80% accuracy.
Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to understand how are created and how waves affect us in our everyday life.

I. Brainpop

Still not sure what a medium is?  Click here for the definition.

II. Energy in Waves (stop watching at 4:30, we'll get to that later...)

III. Examples of waves.

Electromagnetism Day 8

Magnets

Objective

What: SWBAT determine the direction of a magnetic field

How: On an exit slip of released CST questions, students will use the right hand rule to determine the direction of a magnetic field.

Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to understand how magnets work, and the role that they played in history and the modern world.

Agenda:
1. Do Now
2. Brainpop
3. Bill Nye
4. Magnets Reading
5. .ppt Notes
6. Fields practice
7. Exit Slip

Electromagnetism Day 6

Calculating Current

What: SWBAT use the equation for current: I = q/t

How: SWBAT solve released benchmark questions by calculating current with 80% accuracy on an exit slip.

Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to use our knowledge of Ohm's Law and electricity to understand the role that a charge plays in the amount of current in a circuit.

Agenda
1. Do Now
2. Current Notes
3. Current independent practice
4. Current Exit Slip
5. Bill Nye- Computers
