Students will classify waves as mechanical or electromagnetic. Students will describe longitudinal and transverse waves. Students will show a transverse wave using a slinky.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in...

This lesson introduces the concepts of longitudinal and transverse waves. Students see several demonstrations of waves and characterize them by transverse and longitudinal behavior. This lesson also introduces the Sunken Treasure theme...

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe various characteristics associated with a wave and differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves.

This lesson introduces the concepts of wavelength and amplitude in transverse waves. In the associated activity, students will use ropes and their bodies to investigate different wavelengths and amplitudes.

Eighth graders are presented with a labeled drawing of two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line. They are asked to discuss congruency of angles when the picture is rotated about a point on the transversal. Aligns with 8.G.A.5.

A lab activity on sound waves is presented on this website. Students will learn about sound waves produced by different objects in this activity. There are also a set of discussion questions and two other variations of the lab exercise.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate the fundamentals of light including its source, how it is defined for measurements, how we perceive color, and the situations that make an...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] By watching video clips, doing interactives, and reading text, students discover how mechanical waves transfer energy and how the waves require a medium to propagate...

The students will be split into small, cooperative groups and build a city following specific guidelines. The students will learn how a city is constructed with angles, intersections, parallel, intersecting, and transversal streets. They...

Three part lesson will provide students with information about earthquakes and how to predict them using various Web sites. Activities include historical background on major earthquakes, investigating mechanical waves, and simulating...

In this third unit of a course on Art Appreciation, students learn how to describe the technical aspects of an artist's work by discussing elements of art and principles of design. They also look at the stylistic qualities of an artist's...

A comprehensive guide for learning all about angles with definitions, examples, and practice questions.

In this lesson, the electromagnetic spectrum is explained and students learn that visible light makes up only a portion of this wide spectrum. Students also learn that engineers use electromagnetic waves for many different applications.

This site from WebMD Health provides great information on fractures, giving the basics, symptoms, treatment and prevention. A picture/chart is provided along with good, factual information, making this a great site to check out on the...

Describes the structures associated with the large intestine. Gives a good illustration of the microscopic anatomy of the large intestine.
