Homework:

Study for the summative test that is tomorrow! 
  1. Go over the review packet.
  2. Go to the science blog, and follow the Quizlet set Link to test yourself  using the “test” function on the Quizlet website. 
Directions for testing on Quizlet: Click Test, and then, If you click the “options”  button, you can click off the “Written” type questions.  Then test yourself over and over as many times as you need to, to get 100%.

Here is the key to the review packet.

Homework:

No new homework for today.

If you were out today:
 
  1. Copy and complete the following to your Do Now page:
“Frequency of a wave is defined as: The number of waves per second in Hertz (1 Hz  = 1 wave per second)  “

2. Write your answer to the concluding question on the Wave Graph and turn it in for a Habits of Work Grade.
3. Read over the Unit 6 standard and the definition of a model and see me with questions.
4. Get a copy of the U6Act4 handout and complete it as we go over it in class on June 7, or if you missed Wednesday June 7, see me for the answer key.

If you were out today:
 
Finish graphing the 4 waves on the handout for U6Act2: Anatomy of a Wave and answer the concluding question at the bottom of the handout.

Then show me.

Copy the following definition for Frequency to the Anatomy of a Wave handout:
Frequency: the number of oscillations per second in Hertz, where 1 Hertz = 1 oscillation per second.

To graph a wave, follow these instructions step by step.  You will need the Anatomy of a Wave handout.
  • 1st: set up Y-Axis. Look at the crest and trough amplitude (height) to figure out Y-Axis height.
  • 2nd: Make dot on Y axis for first crest (look at crest amplitude).
  • 3rd: Move over one wave length from 1st crest and make dot for 2nd crest.
  • 4th:  On line of origin, move to right 1/2 wavelength and then down by trough amplitude and make a dot.
  • 5th: Draw wave using your crest and trough marks.

If you were out today:

Copy and answer the following question:

6/1/17 Do Now: What kind of wave is sound? Use unit vocabulary words to explain.

See me for a copy of the handout for U6Act2: Anatomy of a wave, a piece of graph paper and to have me explain how to graph waves based on amplitude and wavelength.
