Study Notes
Waves and Their Applications
- Unit 1 – Module L: Covers the fundamental concepts of waves.
Standards
- MS-PS4-1: Students use mathematical models to describe how wave amplitude correlates with wave energy.
- MS-PS4-2: Students develop models to explain how waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
Objectives
- Describe the absorption and transmission of light.
- List examples of transparent, translucent, and opaque objects.
- Categorize objects as opaque, translucent, or transparent.
- Compare and contrast transparent, translucent, and opaque objects.
Vocabulary
- Transmission: The passage of light waves through matter.
- Absorption: The transfer of light energy to matter.
- Transparent: Materials that allow light to pass completely through them.
- Translucent: Materials that allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions.
- Opaque: Materials that do not allow light to pass through.
Starter Activity
- Students observe sandwiches wrapped in different materials (clear plastic wrap, waxed paper, brown paper).
- The activity aims to assess how the wrappers affect what they see.
Group Work
- Group 1: Explore the meaning of light transmission.
- Group 2: Research the meanings of transparent, translucent, and opaque objects.
- Group 3: Research the meaning of light absorption.
Transmission of Light
- The passage of light waves through matter is called transmission.
Types of Mediums
- Clear Plastic Wrap (Transparent): Allows all light to pass through, easily showing the contents.
- Waxed Paper (Translucent): Lets some light pass through but scatters it, partially obscuring the sandwich.
- Brown Paper (Opaque): Blocks all light, making it impossible to see the sandwich through it.
Absorption of Light
- Absorption is the transfer of light energy to matter.
- Opaque materials block light from passing through. They absorb it or reflect it.
- When light enters a material and doesn't exit, it's absorbed, and a shadow is formed.
Checking Understanding (Page 63)
- Question A: Clear plastic wrap allows all light to pass through.
- Question B: Waxed paper allows some light to pass through.
- Question C: Brown paper prevents any light from passing through.
Day 2 - Lesson 4 (Lab)
-
Objectives:
- Identify objects as transparent, translucent, or opaque.
- Categorize materials based on the amount of light they transmit.
- Investigate the behavior of light passing through different objects.
Day 3 - Project (Waste Audit)
- Objectives: Conduct a waste audit of the school environment.
- Outcomes: Students assess waste issues, organize data, identify problem areas, and consider solutions.
- Procedures: Students conduct a waste audit, categorizing different waste types and counting quantities.
Day 4 - Sports Day
- A scheduled sports activity.
