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.

Students create and observe wavelengths at both high and low energy levels using safety glasses, rope, and a power drill

Explains what electromagnetic energy is, the history of its discovery, some terms used when talking about it, and gives some facts about it.

This lesson discusses how electromagnetic radiation transfer the sun's energy to earth. This lesson will also talk about the eight types of electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum and how each type is used or found in our...

Investigate the science of radio astronomy, and create a model of a curved reflecting dish that will work like the Arecibo detector to detect electromagnetic waves. Explore risk using a risk space grid.
