Physics in the Universe Unit 1: Waves in the Universe

This bundle consists of the 5 lectures and their corresponding independent practice worksheets I use to teach Unit 1: Waves in the Universe of my NGSS aligned Physics in the Universe (PITU) course. These lectures are supplemented with activities, readings, simulations, and more (definitely not a complete curriculum here, but a good short, simple lecture outline for an activity-driven class!)

You can preview the lectures for free on my Youtube channel- KCool Science: Physics in the Universe Lectures. This also means you have an extra resource to use in the flipped classroom model, for absent students, or as a sub plan!

In my curriculum, this is the first unit of our study where we explore how we learn about the universe. Students will see this in action in the next unit- Sun and Stars- as they learn about where the energy and matter of the universe is made and transformed. These units come before the forces and motion- where we come back down to earth before returning to space for gravity and orbits. You can read more about my PITU curriculum here- www.kcoolscience.com.
