This is a FULL unit about Waves for middle school science, all housed in one simple outline. I teach it to 8th graders. Purchasing this will give you access to a Google Doc Outline of the unit that contains links to 25 teaching resources (slideshows (2) notes (3), worksheets (2), labs/simulations (3), projects (1/2), quizzes (6) (both Doc and Forms), task assessments (2), test (1), etc.). Clicking on any of the links in the document will prompt you to make a new copy of the document in your

This is a lab I developed base on two different PhET Simulations (Bending Light and Wave Interference) to help students explore wave interactions (reflection, refraction, absorption, diffractions, etc.). This resource is part of a full unit on waves available in my store.

This is a PhET Lab I developed to use with the Wave on a String PhET Simulation. This activity focuses on wave properties (types, shapes, parts, etc.) This resource is part of a full unit available on my store.

This is a simple worksheet that is part of my large Waves unit bundle available in my store. This worksheet helps familiarize students with wave properties through the scope of high/medium/low voices as a metaphor.

This is adapted from my similar group jigsaw project over the same topic. In this specific resource, students are asked to individually research the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and learn about the uses and health risks. Could take 2-4 45 minute class periods

This is a simple worksheet that is part of a full unit about waves available in my store. This worksheet allows students to grasp basic skills regarding types, shapes, and parts of waves.

This is a short and simple lab where students learn about wave interactions (diffraction, refraction, absorption, reflection, etc.) by using slinkys.

This is a short and simple task assessment designed to assess student's understanding of wave interactions, particularly refraction. It is part of a large unit on waves available in my store.

This is a study guide I use to prepare student for a test over waves. This free resource is part of a larger, full unit over waves, available in my store. The study guide covers wave properties (types, shapes, parts of waves) and wave interactions (reflection, refraction, diffraction, etc.) An answer key is included

This is a free resource within my larger waves unit available in my store. It is designed to accompany the 3 quizzes available in the waves unit - but it is fully editable and can be adapted to other areas as well. This particular Quiz Critique Sheet covers: Wave Properties (shape, types, parts, etc.)Wave Interactions (reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, etc.)Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS)The idea is for students to take their quizzes, and then use this resource at the end of the
