Types of Learning Activities Learning Activities: Learning activities will be provided in such a way to target all types of learners. Instruction will be given in a variety of formats including readings, video, and powerpoint presentations. Students will have opportunities to show their learning in many ways such as model building, research projects, lab activities, and discussion boards. The nature of the course allows students to have flexibility in their learning.

You will also be able to describe a situation in which energy is transformed from one form to another and explain how energy is conserved. • 1.1 Energy Pre-quiz • 1.2 Mentos and Soda • 1.3 What is Energy • 1.4 Energy Concept Map • 1.5 Energy Source Research Project • 1.6 Bounce • 1.7 Energy Game Show • 1.8 Energy Assessment
6-8 9-11 12-14 Unit 2 – Sound and Electromagnetic Waves In this unit you will learn about different types of waves and how waves are mechanisms for transferring energy. You will also learn about the characteristics of waves and how to identify the frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and speed of different types of waves. The electromagnetic spectrum will also be studied. At the completion of this unit you will be able to illustrate the electromagnetic spectrum with a labeled diagram, showing how regions of the spectrum differ regarding wavelength, frequency, and energy, and how they are used. Unit 3 – Motion In this unit you will learn to calculate average velocity of a moving object, given the object’s change in position. You will also be able to explain how two objects moving at the same speed can have different velocities. With this knowledge you will be able to compare motion of an object acted on by balanced forces with the motion of an object acted on by unbalanced forces. Unit 4 – Forces In this unit you will learn about how a net force will cause an object to accelerate or change direction. A less massive object will speed up more quickly than a more massive object subjected to the same force. (Newton’s Second Law of Motion, F=ma). You will also learn about the types of forces as well as balanced and unbalanced forces. • 2.1 Waves Pre-quiz • 2.2 Discussion Board Assignment • 2.3 SAS - Wave Properties Interactivity #1200 • 2.4 The Wave Equation • 2.5 The Soundry Activity • 2.6 A Sound Assessment • 2.7 NOVA Online: A Self- Guided Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum • 2.8 Wave Assessment • 3.1 Motion Pre-Quiz • 3.2 Motion Video • 3.3 Inertia Demo • 3.4 Position Vs.

You will also investigate how work is a measure of energy transferred to a system. We will then investigate the concept of simple machines. • 5.1 Work Pre-Quiz • 5.2 SAS Cookie Lesson #78 • 5.3 Making the Grade Investigation • 5.4 It’s Simple – SAS Lesson #451 • 5.5 Levers Investigation • 5.6 Review • 5.7 Assessment Adapted from Understanding by Design Template available online and the Understanding by Design: Professional Development Workbook.
