8th Grade Science: February 13-17

Monday

Waves

·         Waves – what are they? 

·         http://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/waves/

·         Anatomy of a wave

·         Measuring frequency and period

·         Metric system and wavelength
Homework:   Science fair experimentation

Tuesday

Waves

·         Wave calculations involving frequency, wavelength, and period

·         v = f x wavelength;

·          f=1/T

·         Wave energy=h x f ; h= plank's constant..6.6 x 10^-34 Js so, energy = h x (c/wavelength) ; c= speed of EM radiation (light)..3x10⁸ m/s
