Instructions:
Students will not only label parts
of a wave with this printable, but
will also make a perfect study tool
for the chapter test and quiz.
This printable has flaps that
students will cut and fold back to
reveal the term that they will
write in the correct position on
each wave diagram. This section includes the Wave Printable along
with a mini-quiz.

Section 3: Behavior of Waves
Page |
10
Instructions:
For this page in the Science Interactive Notebook, students will
conduct a mini-investigation observing the Refraction of Light.
A
handful of materials are needed, including a: prism, flashlight,
cardboard, water, pencil and a beaker. After the investigation
students will need to draw their observations and explain what
behavior of light waves they saw.
The following are the directions for the Refraction of Light miniinvestigation, student recording page and a mini-quiz.

Refraction of Light
Objective: To observe the refraction of light waves.
Materials:
Prism
Cardboard
Scissors
Beaker
Flashlight
Tape
Page |
11
Pencil
Water
Directions:
Part 1
1. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the light source of the flashlight.
2. Cut a slit in cardboard about 3 cm long and 2mm wide and tape to flashlight.
3. Darken the room and shine flashlight beam so that it strikes one of the sides.
4. Rotate prism until a pattern of colors is produced, then place a piece of white
paper where pattern appears so you can observe the spectrum of colors.
5. Draw your observations (include flashlight beam, prism and spectrum) on recording
sheet.
Part 2
6. Fill the beaker half way with water.
7. Place a pencil in the beaker and observe appearance of pencil with your eye level
the same as the water level.
8. Draw your observations on your recording sheet.
9. Answer all questions on recording sheet, then paste onto appropriate page in
Science Interactive Notebook.

Section 4: Electromagnetic Spectrum
Page |
14
Instructions:
Students will be given vocabulary terms to cut and paste in the
proper order on the diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
They will also be asked to color in the proper order of colors for
the Visible Light Spectrum.
Included for this section is the printable for the student worksheet
Electromagnetic Spectrum and of course a mini-quiz.
* I photocopied the worksheet on colored paper and had the vocab
terms on white paper so they would stand out more…plus I just love
color

Section 5: Communicating with Radio Waves
Page |
17
Instructions:
Students will create a collage of at least 10 items that use Radio
Waves. To make it challenging, you can tell them radios and
televisions are not allowed in collage unless they already have 10
different items.
All items need to be clearly seen and labeled.
I’ve included a Teacher Resource Page for your own master
Science Interactive Notebook of all items shown above to save you
time in addition to the section mini-quiz.
