Quest 1: Wave Properties

Q1P1: Intro to Waves UnNotes

1. Go to Google Classroom and open up the Q1P1: Intro to Waves UnNotes Assignment.

2. Complete the labs and questions by following the directions.

FYI - You actually get to do these labs! Even though the assignment has videos linked, Mrs. Roehm will be showing you how to physically complete the lab so you get to see it first hand. The videos are just there if you need a review of the content or if you are absent and need to see what the lab looked like.

3. Show Mrs. Roehm your completed assignment and get a signature in order to earn XP.

Tips:
- The first two pages of this assignment are just notes and text reference.
- The labs and lab questions start on Page 3.
- For the Rope Waves and Tuning Forks Labs - you have to go ask Mrs. Roehm how to do the actual labs.
- The other stations you do not need to do a physical lab, you just click the links and follow the directions.

Q1P2: Discovery Ed

1. Go to your Discovery Ed Dashboard and find the assignment called "Investigating the Characteristics of Waves."

You will be doing 4 questions: (3 Engage and 1 Explore)

2. Read the text! Yes, read it!

3. Complete the Engage Questions. There are 3 of them. The names of the questions are listed in the bullet points below.

Wave Characteristics
Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude
Transverse and Longitudinal

4. Click next at the bottom of the page. Complete the 1 question on Explore 1:

All about waves

5. Move on to the next task. No need to show Mrs. Roehm. She will sign for it when you finish Q1P3.

Q1P3: Complex Wave Models

To do this assignment you will need:
- A slinky
- A "graphing slip" from Mrs. Roehm

1. Open the Q1P3: Complex Waves Assignment in Google Classroom.

2. Get a slinky. Using the slinky, create the following waves. Remember, the both ends of the slinky remain on the floor at all times! As you make the waves, pay attention to what the waves look like and which hand motions you are using to create the waves.

Longitudinal, high pitch, high amplitude
Transverse, low frequency, high amplitude
Transverse, high frequency, low amplitude
Longitudinal, long wavelength, low amplitude

3. In the first chart, write which hand motion you need to use to make a longitudinal and transverse wave.

4. In the second chart, write which hand motion you need to create each wave property. In some cases, the answer will be the same for the transverse and longitudinal columns. But, sometimes it will be different. HINT: You do not need to write “push forward” or “side to side,” just write what your hand would do to make the wave property listed in the left column. For example, you might write "fast", "slow", "push hard", "push soft", "large distance", "short distance."

5. Get the waves graph slip from Mrs. Roehm. On the graph slip, draw a graph of each of the waves you created above. When you check in your work, you will show Mrs. Roehm the slip of paper along with this document.

6. Show Mrs. Roehm your graphing slip and document for a signature.

Q1P4: Reasoning Trees

Watch the Reasoning Tree Mini Lesson linked below.

Then, complete the Q1P4: Reasoning Tree Assignment in Google Classroom.

Once your assignment is completed, show Mrs. Roehm your work for a signature.

Q1P5: Mary Had a Little Lamb Reasoning Tree

1. Watch the video below:

2. Open the Q1P5: Mary Had a Little Lamb Reasoning Tree Assignment in Google Classroom and complete the reasoning tree.

3. Show Mrs. Roehm your Reasoning Tree to get a signature.

Q1P6: Singing Glasses Reasoning

1. Ask Mrs. Roehm for some singing glasses. Mrs. Roehm will show you how to experiment by listening to the pitch created when adding different amounts of water to the glasses.

2. If Mrs. Roehm has already given the reasoning mini lesson to the whole class, you don't have to watch the video below. If you were absent or you got to this post before Mrs. Roehm's mini lesson, you will need to watch the CER Video linked below. You MUST put in earbuds or wear headphones. Do NOT try to listen to this through the Chromebook speakers. Mrs. Roehm has some earbuds you can borrow if you do not have your own.

3. Complete the Q1P6: Singing Glasses Assignment in Google Classroom. This assignment has 2 parts. Part 1 requires you to write a reasoning. Part 2 requires you to use AI to get feedback and improve your writing. The directions in the document in Google Classroom are very detailed, follow them closely! And, remember, when you write your reasoning....braids not pigtails! You should weave the words from the lab, claim and evidence together! Don't just list the words separately. In the assignment in Google Classroom, Mrs. Roehm has provided you an example structure for you to use if you need it. This structure will help you braid.

4. Show Mrs. Roehm your reasoning for a signature.

Q1P7: Shape Vocabulary

Watch this video to learn how to do Shape Vocabulary.

On a piece of paper, write the following words in the shape of their definition:

Frequency
Wavelength
Amplitude
Transverse
Longitudinal

Remember - the actual letters of the words should be in the shape of the definition. So, while you may have a "picture" along with your vocab word, the actual letters in the word must be written in the shape of the meaning of the vocab word.

Q1P8: RAT Models

1. Read this Reflection, Transmission, and Absorption Resource.

2. Watch this video about Reflection, Transmission, and Absorption:

3. Get a RAT Model Mystery Box from Mrs. Roehm. You will use the materials in the kit to create models of reflection, transmission, and absorption of light and sound. As you make the models, you will create a reasoning tree and write a reasoning for each example.

4. Mrs. Roehm has already completed one example for you. Look at what she did for her model and reasoning for "Reflection of Sound." This will give you an example to model your answers off of. In addition, Mrs. Roehm included an outline of how to format your Reasoning in your first model "Reflection of Light." You can use this format to help you with the future questions.

BIG TIP WHEN DOING THE QUESTIONS: When picking the key words from the text evidence to put in a reasoning tree, we never choose words from the title of the text. Pick the key words from the definition of the science term.

Q1P9: Discovery Ed

Go to Discovery Ed and Complete the Investigating Powers of Reflection Assignment.

1. Discovery Ed: Reflection: Investigating the Powers of Reflection (1 Question)

Engage: How Does Light Behave?

2. Click on the "Explore" #2 tab: What Are the Different Types of Mirrors, and How Does Light Reflect Off of Them?

3. Scroll until you see an appliction/simulation called "Reflecting on Mirrors." This is NOT a question like normal. It is a simulation.

4. Explore with the "Reflecting on Mirrors" application/simulation. As you explore, try to find out what the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection is. Is the angle of incidence the same, greater than, or smaller than the angle of reflection?

HINT: Actually read the explanations that pop up in the simulation. That is where the answer to Mrs. Roehm's question is located!

5. Go tell Mrs. Roehm the answer to this question: Is the angle of incidence the same, greater than, or smaller than the angle of reflection?

She will give you a signature when you tell her the answer.

Q1P10: Shape Vocabulary

You have done shape vocabulary in the past. If you need a reminder how to do it , you could watch this video. If you remember how to do it, no need to watch the video.

On a piece of paper, write the following words in the shape of their definition:

Reflection
Transmission
Absorption

Remember - the actual letters of the words should be in the shape of the definition. So, while you may have a "picture" along with your vocab word, the actual letters in the word must be written in the shape of the meaning of the vocab word.
