NGSS Waves Bundle of Labs Assessments and Activities for Middle School

This NGSS Waves bundle for Middle School Science is composed of all 8 of my waves products including a project, performance tasks and assessments, labs, lessons, mini-units, interactive notebook, and activities combined into one product at a DISCOUNT! All resources are aligned to the new NGSS standards.

These activities and lessons are sure to fit perfectly into your waves or physical science unit! It offers about a month of lessons and activities and is valued at over $30 for $24! You will have access to over 100 pages of resources that are sure to engage and challenge your students. I have included my best selling NGSS Unit Template as a bonus resource for FREE!!!

In this bundle, students:

• investigate with making waves in water (CER introduction to waves)
• learn about the properties of waves (amplitude, wavelength, and frequency) through an interactive PowerPoint and record notes on a Foldable/Interactive Notebook
• explore the properties of waves in labs
• match characteristics of electromagnetic waves on the spectrum
• model digital and analog waves (unit)
• are challenged and assessed on ALL MS-PS4 Waves Performance Expectations through assessment tasks and questions which can be used on pre-assessments, tests, quizzes, or for check-ins!
• ADDED SUMMER 2020: Waves lab stations activity: model how light reflects, absorbs, and/or transmits light while investigating "How Do Sunglasses Work?" in 6 stations
• ADDED Jan 2021: digital interactive notebook for the Waves lab stations activity
• ADDED April 2024: electromagnetic waves project that challenges students to investigate the behavior and interactions of one of the electromagnetic waves and devices and create a presentation that includes a prop to share
