STANDARD

LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

● I can observe and explore examples of periodic motion ● I can differentiate between wave types and describe their properties ● I can interpret wave behavior to understand wave interactions and the changes in their motion through different media

Standard PHYS.4.1 Analyze and interpret data toderive both qualitative and quantitative relationships based on patterns observed in frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. Emphasize mathematical relationships and qualitative descriptions. Examples of data could include electromagnetic radiation traveling in a vacuum or glass, sound waves traveling through air or water, or seismic waves traveling through Earth. (PS4.A)
