What do you think about this activity? How did you use it or change it for your class? Professionally constructive comments welcome.
- I did add a few more HOT questions and put Tennessee standards at the top. I will be happy to email anyone a copy of my student worksheet if they like. I also changed the frequency settings in the final section to 50, 25 and 100. Using these, students can really see the relationship between frequency and wavelength. 11/11/11
- kathleen.miller@knoxschools.org: This was a wonderful lesson plan which I was able to use with all levels of 7th grade classes. The activity is well aligned to national science standards, and includes higher order thinking and data manipulation. I especially appreciated the fact that most of it is in Word format so I could tweak it for my purposes. 11/11/13
