Waves of Energy
49
6th - 8th
2.5/5 Stars

Middle schoolers study electromagnetic waves and how they are classified.  In this energy lesson students complete a tutorial on the computer on the different spectrum's and discuss what they learned. 

Earthquake Waves And Their Destructions
91
6th - 8th
3.0/5 Stars

Students investigate primary and secondary waves and how to measure the magnitude of waves. They discover how to find the epicenter of earthquakes. They examine why waves are more destructive in some areas than others through these activities.

Earthquake Waves And Their Destruction
2
7th - 12th
2.5/5 Stars

Students explore earthquake waves.  In this earthquake lesson students divide into groups and complete several activities.

Characteristics of Waves
63
7th - 10th
4.5/5 Stars

In this characteristics of waves activity, students answer 9 questions about the structure of waves, the types of waves and the components of waves. They describe the frequency of a wave and calculate the velocity and frequency of waves.

Transverse Wave Demonstrator
26
11th - 12th
3.0/5 Stars

Students discover the properties of waves in Chemistry and Physics. In groups, they develop and build their own device to demonstrate transverse waves. They complete their tests, record the results and discuss the conclusions with the class.

Wave Superposition: Interactive On-line Mac and PC
52
10th - Higher Ed
4.0/5 Stars

Students study definitions of wavelength, wave speed, wave amplitude, and wave period using an interactive JAVA environment. Distance and time are given so speed=wavelength/period can be verified or deduced by students. Waves reflection and standing waves can also be explored.

Slinky Lab- Simulating the Motion of Earthquake Waves
606
6th
5.0/5 Stars

Sixth graders simulate primary and secondary waves. In this earthquakes waves instructional activity, 6th graders experiment using a slinky to gain understanding of how waves are created during an earthquake. Students record observations in drawings. students research the epicenter of an earthquake. Students write reflections.

Waves
156
6th - 8th
3.5/5 Stars

Students identify the different parts of a wave. In this physics lesson, students explain how animals communicate using sound waves. They discuss the effect of Navy's sonar on dolphins and whales.

Hold Off on the Headphones
43
9th - 10th
3.5/5 Stars

Students explore hearing loss caused by sound waves. In this physical science lesson plan, students will start by learning about waves and wave characteristics and move into sound waves. Students will study how sound effects their hearing and loss of hearing.

Wave Motion
81
6th
4.0/5 Stars

Sixth graders experiment with the transfer of energy in different types of waves. In this energy transfer and wave lesson, 6th graders complete three activities. They experiment with energy transfer by observing and sketching what happens to a Slinky. They define vocabulary which includes" refraction, diffraction, reflection, and absorption. They present an oral explanation of one activity and complete a graphic organizer showing the parts of a wave.
