"I have taught HS physical science for several years. This was a great resource to help me keep my lessons on grade level and not over complicate things. There were a ton of activities and assessments to utilize. "

Description

Waves Unit: This unit covers an entire Forces and Motion: Waves unit. This is specifically tied to North Carolina Essential Standards, or NC Essential Standards for 6th grade. The PPT is designed to cover in detail the unpacked standards.

However, this unit would work for any Forces and Motion: Waves unit. This would also be awesome for any home school program. We do not have books and this is how I teach the curriculum! This is a huge unit: close to 700 slides total!

Included in the PPT are:
-5 Weeks of Lesson Plans written in EATS format
-assessments (pre-test for the unit, post test for the unit, 4 vocab quizzes),
-assessment keys
-print off of unpacked standards for plan book
-10 pages of guided notes for students who need modifications with answer keys
-1 graphic organizer
-2 foldables
- Worksheets
-1 flow map ( I use this as an outline for a bulletin board)
- Handout with worksheet on Vocal Cords
-4 mini labs (easy labs to use in a classroom with limited supplies)
-3 guided video notes (must have discovery education account to access one of the videos)
-400+ Presentation Slides teaching in detail the unpacked standards of this entire unit, necessary background information, and digging deep areas! Things that I require my students to write in their notes are in red
-Waves Bingo
-Quizlet and Kahoot Review Links
- Sound Task Cards (printable or to put on Google Classroom)
-Sound vs Light Sort digital google classroom assignment
AND MORE!

The unit covers:
-Waves
-Wave Properties
-Types of Waves (Mechanical/Electromagnetic and Transverse/Longitudinal)
-Interactions Waves undergo
-Seismic Waves

-Light as a type of energy traveling as an electromagnetic wave
-Properties of light
