○ Interference behavior by electromagnetic radiation ○ The photoelectric effect

● identify the given reasoning to be evaluated Evaluating given evidence and reasoning Students evaluate the given ● evidence for interference behavior of electromagnetic radiation to determine how it supports the argument that electromagnetic radiation can be described by a wave model. ● phenomenon of the photoelectric effect to determine how it supports the argument that electromagnetic radiation can be described by a particle model. ● claims and reasoning for modeling electromagnetic radiation as both a wave and particle, considering the transfer of energy and information within and between systems, and why for some aspects the wave model is more useful and for other aspects the particle model is more useful to describe the transfer of energy and information.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

Standard 4.2

ELA CONNECTIONS ● Assess the extent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author’s claim or a recommendation for solving a scientifc or technical problem. ● Cite specifc textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account. ● Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusions in a science or technical text, verifying the data when possible and corroborating or challenging conclusions with other sources of information.

MATH CONNECTIONS

● Reason abstractly and quantitatively. ● Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. ● Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.
