Content Objective
Students will demonstrate analysis of wave interactions by working with a computer simulation in their cooperative learning groups.

P.EN.07.33 Demonstrate how waves transfer energy when they interact with matter (for example: tuning fork in water, waves hitting a beach, earthquake knocking over buildings).

Language Objective
Students will write (type) to demonstrate knowledge of wave interactions by completing questions while working with the waves simulation on a google document and submitting it online to iLearn.

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the types of wave interactions: (reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference) by watching demonstrations and a PowerPoint.

P.EN.07.33 Demonstrate how waves transfer energy when they interact with matter (for example: tuning fork in water, waves hitting a beach, earthquake knocking over buildings).

Language Objective
Students will write to demonstrate knowledge of the different types of wave interactions by completing Cornell Notes and comparing their essential questions with their cooperative learning groups.

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the types of wave interactions: (reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference) by reading pages 14-19 with their directed reading groups.

P.EN.07.33 Demonstrate how waves transfer energy when they interact with matter (for example: tuning fork in water, waves hitting a beach, earthquake knocking over buildings).

Language Objective
Students will read, discuss and write to demonstrate knowledge of the different types of wave interactions by completing a directed reading activity with their cooperative learning groups.

HOMEWORK – Complete DR (1-3) Wave Interactions.

NOTE: A copy of the worksheet and the textbook online can be found on the class iLearn site.

NWEA testing.

Most students finished the science portion of the NWEA test today.  Some of them also took the quiz on section (1-2) Properties of Matter.

HOMEWORK – None

NWEA Testing today

HOMEWORK – Students should study for the quiz on section (1-2) Properties of Waves.

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of parts of waves including the Frequency and Wave Speed.

P.EN.07.31 Identify examples of waves, including sound waves and waves on water.
P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will write about properties of waves by using their text book to complete vocabulayr definitions of the properties of waves.

HOMEWORK – Define:

12. Wavelength

13. Amplitude

14. Frequency

15. Hertz

16. Wave Speed

Study for quiz (1-2) Properties of Waves

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of parts of waves including the Amplitude and Wavelength.

P.EN.07.31 Identify examples of waves, including sound waves and waves on water.
P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will write about properties of waves by using their text book to complete a directed reading activity and definitions of the properties of waves.

Today in class the students took the quiz (1-1) The Nature of Waves.  They then read pages 10-13 and completed DR (1-2) Properties of Waves.

HOMEWORK – Finish DR (1-2) Properties of Waves (if needed) NOTE a copy of this can be found on my iLearn site.  We are no longer aloud to post these on our blogs for legal reasons.

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of parts of waves including the crest, trough, compression and rarefaction.

P.EN.07.31 Identify examples of waves, including sound waves and waves on water.
P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will write about types of waves and by using their reading notes (and the text book if necessary) to complete a diagrams and definitions of the parts of waves.

HOMEWORK – Study for quiz on section (1-1) The Nature of Waves.  Also we added four more vocabulary words to the list to define:

8.  crest

9.  trough

10.  rarefaction

11.  compression

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of types of waves by comparing mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves an comparing transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.

P.EN.07.31 Identify examples of waves, including sound waves and waves on water.
P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will write about types of waves and by using their reading notes (and the text book if necessary) to complete a questions at the end of section 1.

HOMEWORK – Finish questions 1-9 on page 9.

NOTE – If students are interested in retaking the Matter Test, the need to discuss this with Mr. Bloye immediately.  Students will only be aloud to retake tests if the have all of their work turned in.

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of examples of waves, types of waves and how waves are produced by reading with their groups and taking notes on what they feel is important in the reading selection.

P.EN.07.31 Identify examples of waves, including sound waves and waves on water.
P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will write about examples of waves, types of waves and how waves are produced by using their reading notes (and the text book if necessary) to complete a directed reading activity and to define seven vocabulary.
