In this very detailed lesson plan from NASA, students investigate wavelength and frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum.

Describes the characteristics of light, presents two formulas for calculating its wavelength, and provides a table of the different wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Music can loosely be defined as organized sound. The lesson objectives, understanding sound is a form of energy, understanding pitch, understanding sound traveling through a medium, and being able to separate music from sound, can...

Kids learn about the science of the light spectrum. Wavelengths and frequencies of the electromagnetic waves including visible light, primary colors, and subtractive colors.

Read about the visible light spectrum and learn the frequencies and wavelengths for each of the primary and secondary colors.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explore the characteristics and behaviors of energy transferred by transverse waves.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, and calculate the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Music and sound are two different concepts that share much in common. Determining the difference between the two can sometimes be difficult due to the subjective nature of deciding what is or is not music. The goal of this activity is to...

Find out how energy, frequency, and wavelength are related in terms of the electromagnetic spectrum.

With sample data, equations, and practice problems, students explore the concept of wave speed.

Kids learn about the properties waves in the science of physics including amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, and speed.
