Welcome

8B Science!
This year we will study a range of subjects from Newton's Three Laws of Motion, magnetism, waves and optics, fossils, and much more!  
 
Please have one composition notebook dedicated to your science class.  A pencil, graph paper, and loose paper are also a must-have.  Optional but very helpful supplies to have of your own (I will have class sets but it's so nice to have your own if possible!) are colored pencils, a wooden ruler (metric, meaning centimeters), and scissors.
NOTE:  Lesson plans may be altered at any time due to learners' specific needs.

Word Bank for Concept Map of HW EM Waves

Word Bank for concept map:  hertz, meter, wavelength, frequency, vacuum (empty space), electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic spectrum, meter, number of waves per second, low, short, high, long, meter, wavelength, trough

Definitions:  vibrating electric and magnetic fields moving through space at speed of light, or through medium at slower speed 

distance between wave crests           

number of waves per second

 

The squares across the are the different parts of the EM spectrum, and can be found on the other side of the paper.
