Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics - Students will calculate the frequency and wavelength of different
waves.
2) Language Arts - Students will write a creative story involving waves and their
characteristics.
3) Physical Education - Students will participate in a game that demonstrates the
properties of waves.

Review Motivation:
[Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes]
[Instructional Materials: Quiz questions, whiteboard, markers]
1) Conduct a short quiz on waves to assess prior knowledge.
2) Show a video clip of a tsunami and discuss the energy transfer involved.
3) Play a game of "Wave Charades" where students act out different types of waves.

Activity 1: Exploring Waves

[Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning]
Materials: Ruler, slinky, water, tuning fork, flashlight
Significance: Students will observe and manipulate different types of waves.
Instructions:
1) Measure and record the wavelength of a slinky wave.
2) Observe the ripple effect of dropping a stone in water.
3) Use a tuning fork to demonstrate sound waves.
Rubric:
- Accurate measurements: 5 pts
- Clear observations: 5 pts
- Participation: 5 pts
Assessment Questions:
1) What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 10 Hz and a speed of 5
m/s?
2) How are water waves different from sound waves?
3) Give an example of a mechanical wave.

Activity 2: Waves in Everyday Life

[Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning]
Materials: Internet access, art supplies
Significance: Students will research and present on how waves are used in various
applications.
Instructions:
1) Research and create a poster or presentation on a specific application of waves
(e.g., radio waves, medical imaging, musical instruments).
2) Present your findings to the class.
Rubric:
- Research and content: 10 pts
- Presentation skills: 5 pts
- Creativity: 5 pts
Assessment Questions:
1) How are radio waves used in communication?
2) What is the difference between X-rays and gamma rays?
3) Give an example of a transverse wave.

Activity 3: Sound and Light Waves

[Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning]
Materials: Musical instruments, prism, flashlight
Significance: Students will investigate the properties of sound and light waves.
Instructions:
1) Play different musical instruments and observe the pitch and volume of the
sound produced.
2) Shine a flashlight through a prism and observe the colors produced.
3) Discuss the similarities and differences between sound and light waves.
Rubric:
- Active participation: 5 pts
- Accurate observations: 5 pts
- Reflection and discussion: 5 pts
Assessment Questions:
1) How does the pitch of a sound wave relate to its frequency?
2) What happens to the speed of light when it passes through a different medium?
3) Give an example of an electromagnetic wave.

ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - Students successfully measured and observed different types of waves,
demonstrating an understanding of their characteristics.
Activity 2 - Students conducted research and presented on various applications of
waves, showcasing their knowledge and creativity.
Activity 3 - Students actively participated in investigating sound and light waves,
leading to insightful discussions on their properties.

ABSTRACTION:
Understanding how waves transport energy and the different characteristics of
mechanical and electromagnetic waves, as well as transverse and longitudinal
waves, allows us to explain various phenomena in the natural world. By
recognizing these patterns and rules, we can deepen our understanding of waves
and their role in our everyday lives.

APPLICATION:
[Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning]
Task 1 - Design a communication system using different types of waves (e.g., radio,
microwave, optical) for a remote island without internet access.
Task 2 - Investig the effect of different materials on the speed of sound and light
waves. Write report detailing your findings and their implications.

ASSESSMENT:
[Teaching Strategy Cooperative Learning]
[Instructional Materials: Rubric, group discussion]
Question 1 - Explain how waves transport energy and provide an example.
Question 2 - Differentiate between mechanical and electromagnetic waves, giving
two examples of each.
Question 3 - Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves, providing
real-life examples.

Assignment:
1) Write a poem or song lyrics that creatively describe the characteristics of waves.
2) Conduct an interview with someone who works in a field that utilizes waves (e.g.,
radio broadcaster, ultrasound technician). Describe their job and how waves are
involved.
