Resource #1: This resource is a Read, Think, and Draw of Waves Reading #1: Waves, Mechanical Waves, and Electromagnetic Waves. Through the reading students will learn about: What are waves?, types of waves (Mechanical and Electromagnetic), Waves transfer energy without moving matter, how waves transfer energy, Mechanical Waves travel through matter, Electromagnetic Waves can travel through absence of matter (vacuum) and/or through matter, Wave Shapes (Transverse and Longitudinal), Crests and Troughs on Transverse Waves, Compressions and Rarefactions on Longitudinal waves, difference between Transverse and Longitudinal Waves moving through the medium, Electromagnetic Waves (Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays), Crests and Troughs on Electromagnetic Waves, and Electromagnetic Waves are a combination of electric and magnetic waves.

Teacher Directions For Waves Readings 1-3:

• Page 1 and 2 should be printed off front to back and given to the students. Page 1 has the Reading Paragraphs. Page 2 has space for student work for each paragraph and the After Reading Thinking Questions. Page 3 has the Answers to the After Reading Thinking Questions. Page 4 has detailed Teacher Directions.
• Teacher will read each paragraph to the students. While the teacher is reading, students will listen and underline important information. After each paragraph is read, give the students one minute to flip their paper on the back and either/or: (1) write down something they underlined, (2) draw a picture of the content they read, (3) ask their own thinking question about the content.
• When the teacher has finished reading all the paragraphs give the students time to work on the After Reading Thinking Questions on their own. Then you can display the answers to the Thinking Questions from Page 3 to go over the content and so the students can add to their own answers.

Resource #2: This resource is a Read, Think, and Draw of Waves Reading #2: Properties of Waves- Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, Speed. Through the reading students will learn about: What is a Wave?, Two Types of Waves (Mechanical and Electromagnetic), What is a Medium?, Two Wave Shapes (Transverse and Longitudinal), What is Amplitude?, how to measure amplitude, Crests and Troughs, Compressions and Rarefactions, the relationship between energy of the wave and amplitude, What is wavelength?, how to measure wavelength, Wavelength Formula, What is frequency?, Units for Frequency (Hertz, Hz), relationship between Wavelength and Frequency, examples of Electromagnetic Waves and Frequencies (Radio Waves Vs Gamma Rays), How to Calculate Wave Speed, the medium the wave is traveling through affects the wave speed, Wave Speed Formula, and sample Wave Speed Problem.

Resource #3: This resource is a Read, Think, and Draw of Waves Reading #3: Wave Interactions- Absorption, Reflection, Transmission, Law of Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, Constructive Interference, and Destructive Interference. Through the reading students will learn about: What is a Wave?, Two Types of Waves (Mechanical and Electromagnetic), What is a Medium?, Two Wave Shapes (Transverse and Longitudinal), What is Amplitude?, how to measure amplitude, Crests and Troughs, Compressions and Rarefactions, the relationship between energy of the wave and amplitude, Waves interacting with Matter, Waves Interacting with other Waves, Absorption of waves, Reflection of waves, Transmission of Waves, Law of Reflection with Labeled Picture Example (Incoming Waves, Reflected Waves, Incident Angle, Reflected Angle, Normal Line, Point of Wave Reflection From Surface), Refraction of waves, Diffraction of Waves, Constructive Interference, and Destructive Interference.

Resource #4: This resource is two Crossword Puzzles on (1) Waves Crossword #1: Waves, Mechanical Waves, and Electromagnetic Waves, and (2) Waves Crossword #2: Wave Properties (Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, Wave Speed) and Wave Interactions (Absorption, Reflection, Transmission, Refraction, Diffraction, Constructive Interference, Destructive Interference). This resource is 6 pages: Page 1 and 2 are the two Crossword Puzzles, and should be printed front to back for your students. Page 1: Waves Crossword Puzzle #1 is about: Waves, Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves, Transverse Wave Shapes, Longitudinal Wave Shapes, Waves Traveling Through Mediums, Waves Traveling Through Vacuum, Crests and Troughs, Compressions and Rarefactions, and Electromagnetic Waves are combination of Electric and Mechanical Waves. Page 2: Waves Crossword Puzzle #2 is about: Relationship Between Amplitude and Energy, Wavelength, Crests and Troughs, Compressions and Rarefactions, Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency, Wave Speed, Absorption, Reflection, Transmission, Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, Constructive Interference, and Destructive Interference. Page 3 is the Answer Key to Puzzle #1. Page 4 is the Answer Key to Puzzle #2. Page 5 is the Answers and Clues list for Puzzle #1. Page 6 is the Answers and Clues List for Puzzle #2.

Need to Accommodate or Differentiate for Students? You can print off the Answer Keys or List of Clues to give to some of your students after they have made their best effort to work on this on their own at first. Need an Extra Study Guide for your students? Print off Page 5 and 6 for them, or have them make index flash cards with the words and clues.

Resource #5: This resource is 16 Waves Vocabulary Flash Cards. Through this resource students will: (1) Research the definitions of 16 Waves Vocabulary Words, (2) Determine and Draw picture examples of each Waves Vocabulary Word, and (3) Cut out and Assemble their Waves Vocabulary Flash Cards.

This resource is 10 Pages. Pages 1-4: Student Handout for Waves Vocabulary Flash Cards. These are the pages students will fill out and cut out to make the Flash Cards. Pages 5-8: Answer Key for Waves Vocabulary Flash Cards. These pages will have the definitions and picture examples of each vocabulary word. Teachers can use this to teach the content, for absent students, or as an accommodation for some of your needy students. Pages 9-10: Detailed Teacher Directions about: The pages in this file, an example of student card vs. answer key card, and step-by-step directions for how to assemble the waves vocabulary flash cards with picture examples.

16 Waves Vocabulary Words: Mechanical Wave, Electromagnetic Wave, Transverse Wave Shapes, Longitudinal Wave Shapes, Crests and Compressions, Troughs and Rarefactions, Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, Absorption, Reflection, Transmission, Refraction, Diffraction, Constructive Interference, and Destructive Interference.

Materials Needed: You will need to provide your students with your own set of scissors, tape, and colored pencils to do this Waves Vocabulary Flash Cards Activity.
