Description
This easy to read, one page passage about different types of waves explains:
- waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another
- mechanical waves (like sound) must travel through matter while electromagnetic waves (like light) can travel through empty space
- waves can be described as transverse or longitudinal depending on how they move
- scientists measure amplitude and wavelength to determine how much energy a wave has
The passage includes 10 multiple choice reading comprehension questions, an answer key, and 2 self-scoring digital versions - EASEL and Google Forms. Color and black and white illustrations are included to accommodate black and white printing.
This passage also has a companion YouTube video. Show the video before or after reading the passage to increase student comprehension. It provides a great modification for students who need a read aloud option with visuals.
