Display wave information:These anchor charts are excellent references for students. They can be displayed as reference throughout your electromagnetic wave unit. What's included:Wave characteristics anchor chart. (color and B&W)Wave spectrum anchor chart. (color and B&W)Wave movement anchor chart. (color and B&W)Visible light movement anchor chart. (color and B&W)How is this product useful:No prep for teacher.Good reference for classroom.Multiple pages can be printed on one sheet for student no

Build mastery in the study of waves:Students will be engaged in the study of waves from the beginning of this unit with a hands on introductory activity. Students will have opportunities to practice their skills with an experiment and in depth research project. The informational text will lead to good class discussions which will lead to success when working on worksheets provided. Culminating project requires students to explore the ways transmitting waves are used in technology. This project

Hands on crosscutting concept of patterns:Before our study of electromagnetic waves, I use this activity to remind students how to find patterns where there are not obvious repeating patterns. This skills is important across all levels of science. Students are given three sets of items which they then observe. Through observation, students will classify their data. Once this data is classified with a chart students will evaluate patterns through the data. A quick full class activity is completed
