Description

This project was created for my students to use via distance learning during school closure for the Covid-19 virus. I have now used it both virtually and in person, and find it's an engaging way to let students dig more deeply into the electromagnetic spectrum.

This is a one to two week long research project appropriate for a Chemistry or Physics class studying the electromagnetic spectrum.

Students will research a section of the EM spectrum of their choosing, put together a presentation of their choice (Google Slides, physical poster, etc.), and submit their project.

If using digitally: The teacher can post all of the finished projects and students will choose three of their classmate's presentations to review on the attached sheets.

If using in person: Student can present in person and use the audience review forms then.

The following is included:

-Student instruction overview sheet (1 page)
-Teacher grading sheet (1 page)

-Student structured research pages (Google Doc so they can type directly, or it can be printed) (4 pages)

-Classmate "audience" review pages (3 pages)

I also have a PDF version of this product, see my store.

Standards

NGSSHS-PS4-4
Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter. Emphasis is on the idea that photons associated with different frequencies of light have different energies, and the damage to living tissue from electromagnetic radiation depends on the energy of the radiation. Examples of published materials could include trade books, magazines, web resources, videos, and other passages that may reflect bias. Assessment is limited to qualitative descriptions.
NGSSHS-PS4-3
Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other. Emphasis is on how the experimental evidence supports the claim and how a theory is generally modified in light of new evidence. Examples of a phenomenon could include resonance, interference, diffraction, and photoelectric effect. Assessment does not include using quantum theory.
