Electromagnetic Spectrum Foldable Instructions

You will need 4 sheets of copy paper Layer your paper as such: Your paper should be about ½ an inch apart

FOLD Now it is time to fold your paper so that you have 8 slots for your foldable. It should look something like this: You will staple 3 times along the top of the foldable!

Time to Add material to your foldable! ON THE TOP FLAP: ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES CHARACTERISTICS NEXT FLAP: RADIO WAVES NEXT FLAP: MICRO WAVES NEXT FLAP: INFRARED WAVES NEXT FLAP: LIGHT WAVES (VISIBLE LIGHT) NEXT FLAP: ULTRAVIOLET WAVES (LIGHT) NEXT FLAP: X-RAYS NEXT FLAP: GAMMA RAYS

Add Graphics to top flap

FIRST FLAP ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES CHARACTERISTICS LIFT THE FLAP AND WRITE THE FOLLOWING: WAVES THAT TRAVEL THROUGH EMPTY SPACE AND THROUGH MATTER. THEY RADIATE IN ALL DIRECTIONS. THIS ENERGY IS CALLED RADIANT ENERGY

ABOVE RADIO WAVES UNDER THE FLAP AREA LONGEST WAVELENGTH, LOWEST FREQUENCY GIVEN OFF BY LIGHTNING, STARS, TRANSMITTERS DANGERS – IN HIGH DOSES, CAN CAUSE CANCER USES – COMMUNICATION – FM, AM, UHF, VHF

LIFT UP RADIO WAVES FLAP ABOVE MICROWAVES WRITE THE FOLLOWING: WAVELENGTH – 1-3 CM GIVEN OFF BY STARS, TRANSMITTERS DANGERS – CAN CAUSE CATARACTS (EYE PROBLEMS) USES – COOKING, MOBILE PHONES, RADAR, SPEED CAMERAS

LIFT UP MICROWAVES FLAP AND WRITE THE FOLLOWING SNAKES CAN “SENSE” INFRARED GIVEN OFF BY HOT OBJECTS, STARS, LAMPS DANGERS – OVERHEATING USES – REMOTE CONTROLS, HEAT LAMPS, NIGHT SIGHTS, THERMAL IMAGING

LIFT UP INFRARED FLAP AND WRITE THE FOLLOWING THE ONLY WAVELENGTH WE CAN SEE – ROY G BIV – COLORS OF THE SPECTRUM RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET IN ORDER OF FREQUENCY RED IS THE LOWEST, VIOLET IS THE HIGHEST GIVEN OFF BY ANYTHING HOT ENOUGH TO GLOW DANGERS – RETINA DAMAGE IN THE EYE USES – CD’S, DVD’S, SEEING, LASER POINTERS

LIFT UP THE ULTRAVIOLET WAVES FLAP AND WRITE THE FOLLOWING VERY HIGH FREQUENCY, HIGH ENERGY CAN GO THROUGH MOST “SOFT” METALS GIVEN OFF BY STARS, X-RAY MACHINES DANGER – CAN CAUSE CANCER USES – TO SEE BROKEN BONES, AIRPORT SECURITY

LIFT UP THE X-RAY FLAP AND WRITE THE FOLLOWING DANGERS – CAN CAUSE CANCER USES – DETECTING CANCER, KILLING CANCER (RADIOTHERAPY) SHORTEST WAVELENGTH, HIGHEST FRECAN GO THROUGH MOST METALS QUENCY, HIGH ENERGY GIVEN OFF NATURALLY BY STARS
