Content Objective:

I can understanding the different types of electromagnetic waves by watching and listening to video clips about each.

Language Objective:

I can write to record information about the different types of electromagnetic waves by taking notes while observing a video clips.

QUIZ today on magnetism

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective:

I can review my understanding of how waves interact with matter by taking Cornell Notes while viewing a slide show on waves.

Language Objective:

I can write to record information about waves by taking notes while observing a slide show.

HOMEWORK – Study for Quiz (Friday)  about magnetism – Use the 4 sets of sentence frames (check the iBlog if you don’t have them).

Content Objective:

I can review my understanding of how waves interact with matter by completing a google doc assignment.

Language Objective:

I can talk to compare ideas about waves and their interaction with matter by discussing with my CLG partners.

• Both move energy from one place to another
• Current moves the matter with the energy (river currents, ocean currents, electrical current)
• Waves move only the energy (water waves, earthquake waves, sound Waves)

HOMEWORK – None

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective:

I can expand my understanding of how electricity and magnetism are related by watching several video clips and making observations.

Language Objective:

I can write to record my observations by completing sentence frames as an exit ticket.

1. When electrons build up in one place it is called _____________electricity.
2. When electrons flow it is called _____________electricity.
3. When electrons flow through a wire a _____________ ___________ forms around the wire.
4. To make this effect stronger you can _________________ the wire and add a piece of _________________.
5. This is called an _____________________.
6. A ____________ magnet cannot be turned off, but an ____magnet can be turned off and on.
7. Make a diagram of an electromagnet (picture with labels)

1. When electrons build up in one place it is called static electricity.
2. When electrons flow it is called current electricity.
3. When electrons flow through a wire a magnetic field forms around the wire.
4. To make this effect stronger you can coil the wire and add a piece of iron inside of the coil.
5. This is called an electromagnet.
6. A permanent magnet cannot be turned off, but an electromagnet can be turned off and on.

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective:

I can expand my understanding of the Earth’s magnetic field and how it interacts with the Sun’s radiation by watching several video clips and making observations.

Language Objective:

I can write to record my observations by completing sentence frames as an exit ticket.

1. The Sun’s energy is formed through a _______ reaction in which _____ is turned into _______.
2. This process releases ________ from the core that moves outward in eddies called _____ _____ which create ______ ______ inside the sun.
3. The dark spots on the Sun’s surface are called _____ _____ and are _______ than the surrounding areas.
4. The electrically charged gases called _____ that escape off into space are called a ______ _____.
5. It takes _____ hours for this energy to reach Earth.
6. An invisible shield called the _____ _____ protects the Earth by ____________________.
7. This produces _________ at both poles of the Earth which are ________________________________.
8. If the Sun’s radiation reaches the Earth it could ____________ _________________________________________________.

1. The Sun’s energy is formed through a nuclear reaction in which hydrogen is turned into helium.
2. This process releases energy from the core that moves outward in eddies called convection cells which create magnetic fields inside the sun.
3. The dark spots on the Sun’s surface are called sunspots and are cooler than the surrounding areas.
4. The electrically charged gases called plasma that escape off into space are called a solar storm.
5. It takes 18 hours for this energy to reach Earth.
6. An invisible field called the magnetic field protects the Earth by funneling the radiation to the poles.
7. This produces auroras at both poles of the Earth which are visible light shows.
8. If the Sun’s radiation reaches the Earth it could disrupt the electrical grid, communications and increase the risk of cancer.

Content Objective:

I can expand my understanding of magnetic fields by watching several video clips and making observations.

Language Objective:

I can write to record my observations by completing sentence frames as an exit ticket.

1. Magnetism is called a non-contact force because _______________________________________.
2. The closer a magnet is the ______ its force is, and the farther a magnet is the ______ its force.
3. Magnets produce a magnetic  _____ in which electrons flow _______________________________.  
4. The three metals that magnets can be made out of are _____, _____, and _____.
5. The needle of an orienteering compass always points _______ because ___________________________.

1. Magnetism is called a non-contact force because Magnets do not need to touch to work and they can work through other substances.
2. The closer a magnet is the stronger its force is, and the farther a magnet is the weaker its force is.
3. Magnets produce a magnetic  field in which electrons flow from the north pole to the south pole.  
4. The three metals that magnets can be made out of are iron, nickle, and cobalt.
5. The needle of an orienteering compass always points north because the Earth has a magnetic field.
