Description
These scaffolded Electromagnetic Waves and Spectrum Cornell Doodle Notes can be used to cover the background information of electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum. These notes depict a model of the interacting electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave. They provide a detailed visual of the 7 main types of electromagnetic waves on the Electromagnetic Spectrum (radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, the visible light spectrum, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays), as well as analogies for the relative wavelength sizes of each type. There is a Quick Watch video to summarize the lesson and a Sum It Up practice page!
These notes support the Disciplinary Core Ideas of NGSS MS-PS4 : Electromagnetic Radiation.
Cornell Notes are a note-taking strategy in which topic questions are written in a narrow left-hand column and definitions, explanations, and diagrams are filled in in the right-hand column.
Doodle Notes are another note-taking strategy for which pictures and graphics activate the visual pathways of the brain, which helps with retention of information when compared to standard note-taking. Your visual learners will really benefit from seeing and coloring in the pictures aside the main points of the notes!
What's Included (please see the Preview also!):
- The Cornell Doodle Notes are 4-pages each and there are 2 scaffolded versions plus the answer key
- Two presentation options: Powerpoint AND Google Slides
- Google Slides version of the notes with student directions and Google Tools and Fonts sidebar
Here are some ways that I suggest using this resource:
✎ Whole-Group lesson with scaffolding : Decide which students should receive which level of the notes. Hand out the notes to the students. Use the Powerpoint or Google Slides as a presentation and talk aloud through the lesson while the students take notes OR If you have a document camera (an ELMO), you can fill out your own notes and the students can follow along with you as you discuss the concepts aloud! Stop throughout the lesson to have the students pair-share and discuss what they are learning. Allow them to color/doodle further during and at the end of the lesson.
✎ Scaffolded Small-Group lesson : Separate your students into groups by learning level. Give each student group sets of the appropriate notes for their level. Make sure each group has a device to view the presentation. Post the Powerpoint or Google Slides to your Google Classroom or other online learning platform, or email the Powerpoint version to one ‘student leader’ in each group. The students would view the Powerpoint/Slides together on one device and fill in the notes. Encourage them to add color/further notes.
✎ Individual Note-Taking or Flipped Classroom : Post the Powerpoint or Google Slides presentation to your Google Classroom or other online learning platform. Hand out the appropriate-level notes to each student. Students can work at their own pace to view the presentation and complete their notes. Encourage them to add color/further notes. Could also be assigned for homework or as a “half & half lab” for which one group of students is taking notes at their desks while another group is performing a lab.
✎ Distance Learning Scenario: Create a screencast lecture using one of the presentation options, or you could record audio clips over each slide that your students will play as they view the presentation.
Options for Digital Note-taking:
- Assign the Google Slides version of the notes
- Assign this resource using TPT's EASEL Digital Activity Tool
- Assign these notes digitally using the Kami Extension for Google Classroom. Learn about this option by downloading THIS FREEBIE!
Please note that this resource is not editable due to font and clip art licensing agreements and also to protect my work. However, you can always add additional text boxes to the presentation, as well as insert new slides with images/text/video clips, etc. to customize the lesson for you and your students!
