Waves Unit Sound Waves Light Electromagnetic Spectrum Analog and Digital Signals

Looking for fun, engaging, no-prep ways to teach your physical science students about WAVES? This unit covers sound and light waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and information transfer using analog and digital signals. This bundle contains SO much content for teaching about the nature and behavior of waves, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, electromagnetic spectrum, and analog and digital transmission. These resources align with NGSS MS-PS4.

This bundle contains 7 activities to help you teach the following topics:

• Mechanical Waves
• Sound Waves
• Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Light Waves
• Analog and Digital Signals

An editable pacing guide is included in the bonus folder!

Save 20% by purchasing these activities in this bundle. ✨ Additionally, you will receive all future Waves resources for free once you purchase this bundle.

Please note that the Sound Waves, Light Waves, and Analog and Digital Signals lessons are digital lessons to be facilitated using Google Classroom. These lessons are perfect for distance learning, for self-paced learning, to supplement hands-on labs, for use in classrooms with 1:1 devices, or even to use as multiple-day sub plans that don't skimp on rigor!

These resources were specifically designed to meet NGSS Standards:

MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.

MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.

MS-PS4-3: Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.
