Objectives: contrast electromagnetic waves and other kinds of waves. Describe the arrangement of electromagnetic waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. Explain at least on application of each type of electromagnetic wave.
Today we will be learning about electromagnetic radiation. We will begin with a discussion of E.R. and organize the information into a graphic organizer to organize information. We will finish class with a brief exit quiz based on the information we covered in class.
Homework: 25-30 in the blue packet.

Objective: State and give an example of the law of reflection. Explain how refraction is used to seperate light into the colors of the light spectrum. Describe how diffraction and interference patterns demonstrate the wave behavior of light.
Today in class we will complete the following:
1. Carousel activity on diffraction, reflection, and refraction.
2. Background information and summarization of previous activity.
3. Reflection of Light Lab. (turn in at the end of class)
Homework: Blue packet, up to question 25.

Objectives: When given an element, build an atom with the correct number of protons, electrons and neutrons.
Key Vocabulary: proton, neutron, electron, electrically charged, neutral.
Today in class we will look at various elements from the periodic table and determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom of each. We will practice many problems that require you to determine the number of each component found within one atom. When you have mastered this, you will be assigned an element and you will create a model that represents one atom of your element.
Homework:
Read pages 70-74, cornell notes. Questions 1-3 on page 291, Questions 1-3 on page 281.

Objectives:
Accurately convert from any unit with any prefix (kilo, hetco, deka, deci, centi, and milli) to any other unit with the correct prefix.
Interpret a bar graph and make valid assumptions based on the graph.
Today in class we will use the graphs you created for homework to draw conclusions about science. You will interpret these graphs and predict what these graphs may or may not represent. Because we are slightly ahead of schedule we will spend the remainder of the class calculating metric conversions. This is the last of the new material before the exam next week.
Homework: Page 30, questions 1-15/ Page 56, questions 1-15 (review for exam on 9/24)

Objectives:
Identify three types of graphs and explain and demonstrate the correct use of them. Distinguish between dependent and independent variables. Interpret graphs.
Today in class we will start by finishing up the activity from last class where you had to measure different objects and substances. The majority of class will be spent on graphing techniques. You will be given sets of data and be required to determine the proper type of graph to use for each type. We are slightly ahead of schedule but the current date that I have scheduled the first exam for is on September 24th.
Homework:
Finish questions on graph. (I will hand out the question sheet)
