Performance Expectations
PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
PS4-3: Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals
Learning Targets:
1) Identify various types of waves and their properties.
- Transverse Waves (pg 21)
- Longitudinal Waves (pg 24)
- Comparing waves (pg 25)
2) Explain how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
- Patterns in waves activity (pg 22)
- Slinky Lab Activity and Review (pg 26-27)
3) Provide evidence of the relationship between pitch, frequency, and wavelength.
- Slinky Lab Activity and Review (pg 26-27)
4) Explain how waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
5) Support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.
