WAVES

Join the Study Jams Team to explore sound is energy that travels as a result of vibration. It can be characterized by frequency, loudness, and pitch, and it is measured in decibels.

​

Join the Study Jams Team to explore light is a very important energy source that keeps us warm and lets us see the world. Light travels in waves in bundles of energy called photons. Those photons contain all seven colors in the rainbow. Grab a prism and check them out!

​

Join the Study Jams Team to explore light always travels in a straight line until something gets in its way. When that happens, light can be absorbed, reflected (bounced off) or refracted (bent), depending on what kind of surface it hits.

​

Check out this Bill Nye video on WAVES.  It will help you complete the worksheet from class:)

​

Check out this Bill Nye video on SOUND.  It will help you complete the worksheet from class:)

 

Discuss wave properties using common vocabulary andpredict the behavior of waves through varying medium and at reflective endpoints.

​

​

Explain how different sounds are modeled, described, and produced also design ways to determine the speed, frequency, period and wavelength of a sound wave model.

Light and EM Spectrum

Join the Study Jams Team to explore how light is a very important energy source that keeps us warm and lets us see the world. Light travels in waves in bundles of energy called photons. Those photons contain all seven colors in the rainbow. Grab a prism and check them out!

​

Join the Study Jams Teams to explore how light always travels in a straight line until something gets in its way. When that happens, light can be absorbed, reflected (bounced off) or refracted (bent), depending on what kind of surface it hits.

​

Join Phil from Crash Course to learn more about light and how we explore the universe.

​

​

Join Shini from Carsh Course Engineeshows us how we know that light exists as a wave and why that's really cool!

​

In this episode of SciShow, we break down how physics work on roller coasters to give you the ride of your life!

​

Simulator - Play with objects on a teeter totter to learn about balance. Test what you've learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.

Forces and Motion

Simulation - Explore forces, energy and work as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces acting on the file cabinet.

​

Join Crash Course Physics, Shini as she talks to us about Newton's Laws of Motion

​

Join Crash Course Physics, Shini introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight line. She talks about displacement, acceleration, time, velocity, and the definition of acceleration.

​

Join Crash Course Physics, Shini as she talks about work, energy, and power.
