SHAREABLE LINK TO VIDEOS INCLUDED! GREAT FOR POSTING TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM OR TEACHER WEBPAGE. INTERACTIVE VIDEOS AND EXTENSION ACTIVITIES! 2 FULL WEEKS OF TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED!

This waves bundle includes the following 4 interactive videos (listed in recommended viewing order for scaffolding) and a BONUS WEBQUEST:

• Wave Types and Motion Interactive Video and Extension Activities
• Wave Interactions Interactive Video and Extension Activities
• Light Waves and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Interactive Video and Extension Activities
• Sound Waves Interactive Video and Extension Activities
• Waves Webquest

This resource also includes:

• An interactive, highly engaging student video for each topic
• Note taking worksheet to accompany video
• Step-by-step directions and suggested timeline

• Online practice opportunities to review concepts
• Creative writing prompt to allow student illustration/application of understanding

These lessons include opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning. All learning activities can be adapted for individual learning or teamwork depending on teacher preference.

Wave Types and Motion Lesson Overview. Students will:

• Understand the basic idea of wave motion
• Differentiate between the 2 types of waves (mechanical and electromagnetic)
• Comprehend the idea of the different kinds of wave movement (transverse, longitudinal, and combination)
• Explain the properties of a wave (wavelength, frequency, and amplitude)
• Develop a creative writing to illustrate their understanding
• Engage in discussion with classmates using higher order thinking

Wave Interactions Lesson Overview. Students will:

• Understand the basic idea of wave interactions
• Differentiate between the 3 types of waves interactions with matter (absorption, transmission, and reflection)
• Comprehend the idea refraction and the impact on wave speed and direction
• Explain the theory of the law of reflection using real-life examples
• Develop a creative writing to illustrate their understanding
• Engage in discussion with classmates using higher order thinking

Light Waves: The Electromagnetic Spectrum Lesson Overview. Students will:

• Understand the basic idea of the electromagnetic spectrum
• Differentiate between the 3 types of light interactions with matter (transparent, translucent, and opaque)
• Comprehend the idea wavelength and frequency as it relates to wave energy
• Explain how light scattering causes objects to appear certain colors (ex: why the sky appears blue)
• Develop a creative writing to illustrate their understanding
• Engage in discussion with classmates using higher order thinking

Sound Waves Lesson Overview. Students will:

• Understand the basic idea of sound waves
• Differentiate between the 2 types of particle movement in a sound wave (compression and rarefaction)
• Comprehend the idea wavelength and frequency as it relates to pitch
• Explain how sound particles travel through different forms of matter at varying rates
• Develop a creative writing to illustrate their understanding
• Engage in discussion with classmates using higher order thinking

Waves Webquest Lesson Overview. Students will:

• Learn about basic wave properties and characteristics (wavelength, amplitude, and frequency)
• Describe how waves are classified into 2 main categories (mechanical and electromagnetic)
• Apply learning principles in 4 different simulations
• Explain how the movement of the wave varies based on the energy source (transverse waves and longitudinal waves)
• Develop ideas on how changing frequency and amplitude impact wave behavior
