1. Compare and contrast a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.
2. Describe how a wave transmits energy.
TIER 2: Provide an example of one of the three Laws of Motion. Be sure to state which law is being highlighted.

3. Turn, Talk, Share, & Write ~ 3 min
When I say START, pass your lifeline to your nearest neighbor
For 45 seconds each student will edit their partner’s responses to the lifeline.
Write 1 glow and 1 grow from their response
+ = At least three complete sentences, few to no grammar errors
= A minimum of two complete sentences some grammar errors
- = Does not complete lifeline on time, sentences incomplete
The person that WOKE UP the EARLIEST will SHARE the SUGGESTIONS and EDITS on their partner’s LIFELINE, FIRST.
Students will be RANDOMLY called to SHARE OUT what THEIR PARTNER discussed. BE PREPARED TO SHARE!!

4. Agenda ~ 1 min In Class: Homework: Lifeline Objective
Turn, Talk, & Write
Objective
Organized Binder Check
Cornell Notes
What is wave energy?
Types of waves
Independent Reading
Chapter 20 section 2
Scholar Groups (TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE)
Learning Log
Homework:
Complete “Properties of Waves” Chp 20:1 (G3.1)

5. Announcements STAY FOCUSED so we can meet our OBJECTIVE
PHONES ARE AWAY!!!
Due TODAY
Binder Check – Everyone should have a binder
Quiz 3.1 due 1/29/2017
STAY FOCUSED so we can meet our OBJECTIVE

6. ~ 2 min
Objective
By the end of class students will describe the relationship between wavelength and energy by performing an inquiry driven activity as well as deconstructing informational text
Standard: HS-PS4-1. Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
Developing Skills:
Synthesize information independently and constructively
Develop critical thinking skills through inquiry driven activities.

7. EXPLORATION ~ 2 min Rules: Reward:
When I say START, you and members of your assigned group will DEMONSTRATE and DEFINE what a transverse wave is and compare it to longitudinal wave.
For 2 minutes each group will develop strategize as to how to create a wave. Once completed ALL groups members will write down the definition of a wave without any resources.
Rules:
Every group member must contribute
No cellphones
2 minute timer
Responses must be written down before the timer runs out
Reward:
1st place 100 hero points, 5pts extra credit on quiz
2nd place 75 hero points
3rd place 50 hero points
4th place 25 hero points

8. What is the amplitude of a wave?
~ 2 min
Amplitude is the maximum distance the particles of the wave vibrate away from their rest position.
The amplitude of a transverse wave is related to the height of the wave.

9. Relationship between Amplitude and Energy
Taller waves have larger amplitudes and therefore carries more energy

10. What is the Wavelength of a Wave?
The wavelength is the distance between any point on a wave and the identical point on the next wave.
A wavelength is the distance between two neighboring crests or two compressions. The distance between two troughs or two rarefactions next to each other is also a wavelength.

11. Relationship between wavelength and energy
LOW ENERGY
HIGH ENERGY
Two waves of the same amplitude may carry more or less energy depending on its wavelength.
The wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than the wave with a long wavelength.

12. What is the Frequency of a Wave?
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves produced in a given amount of time.
Frequency is often expressed in hertz (Hz). One hertz equals one wave per second)

13. What is Wave Speed?
Wave speed is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium. Wave speed is symbolized by v.
The speed of a wave is a property of the medium. Changing the medium of a wave changes its speed.

14. Independent Practice (15-20 min) Scholarly Studies
Option 1:
Read Chapter 20:2 “The Properties of Waves”.
Complete Cornell Notes SILENTLY for Chp 20:2
Students that attempt AND are successful with BLANK Cornell Notes will receive 5 extra credit points.
At the end of 15 minutes you will be graded on your overall performance.
+ = All important topics are completed, written neatly.
= Missing a couple topics and remained on task for the majority of the time
- = Unable to complete 1 pg of Cornell Notes, remained distracted

15. SCHOLAR GROUPS (TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE)
~ 1 min
When I say START, you and members of your assigned group will DEMONSTRATE your COMPREHENSION from the text by answering questions.
Each group will have 1 minute to answer the question and support their answers using a text. It is important to JUSTIFY each answer.
We will use round-robin style for calling on groups, if a group does not completely answer the question, another group will get a chance to steal their points.
Rules:
Every group member must contribute
No cellphones
1 minute timer
All answers must be written down before the timer goes off WITH page numbers
Reward:
1st place 100 hero points, 5pts extra credit on quiz
2nd place 75 hero points
3rd place 50 hero points
4th place 25 hero points
