Week of March 2, 2020
S8P4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support the claim that electromagnetic (light) waves behave differently than mechanical (sound) waves. d. Develop and use a model to compare and contrast how light and sound waves are reflected, refracted, absorbed, diffracted or transmitted through various materials.
Tuesday-Wednesday: Activator: Which Color? Light Waves Explore Lab (Explore Small Group) Closing: I get this, but not this...
Thursday: Activator: Which Word? INB and Guided Notes Closing: What happened here?

S8P4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support the claim that electromagnetic (light) waves behave differently than mechanical (sound) waves. a. Ask questions to develop explanations about the similarities and differences between electromagnetic and mechanical waves. (Clarification statement: Include transverse and longitudinal waves and wave parts such as crest, trough, compressions, and rarefactions.) d. Develop and use a model to compare and contrast how light and sound waves are reflected, refracted, absorbed, diffracted or transmitted through various materials. (Clarification statement: Include echo and how color is seen but do not cover interference and scattering.) e. Analyze and interpret data to predict patterns in the relationship between density of media and wave behavior (i.e., speed). f. Develop and use a model (e.g., simulations, graphs, illustrations) to predict and describe the relationships between wave properties (e.g., frequency, amplitude, and wavelength) and energy.
Wednesday-Thursday: Elaborate Activator: Vocab (Parts of Waves) Review Students complete/present elaboration projects Closing: TOD Wave Review
Friday: Evaluate Activator: One More Question/Quick Review Wave Properties Quiz

S8P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the law of conservation of energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system. d. Plan and carry out investigations on the effects of heat transfer on molecular motion as it relates to the collision of atoms (conduction), through space (radiation), or in currents in a liquid or a gas (convection).
