WAVES: An Internet Based Lesson
Review the qualitative and quantitative aspects of waves including wavelength, frequency, amplitude, velocity, reinforcement and interference. Compare longitudinal and transverse waves by studying sound and light. Study the different waves of the electromagnetic spectrum and learn from the application of waves in areas including Echolocation, Radio Broadcasting, Cellular Phones, Rainbows, etc.

Magnetism and Electricity
Simple electrostatic experiments give students an understanding of the basic laws of electrostatics. These form a basis for learning about the principles of current electricity. Students construct simple electrical circuits and measure basic electrical quantities to understand the interrelationships. They observe and use magnetic and electrical interactions to learn about practical applications of  electromagnetism. Safety and energy efficiency are included throughout these topics.
