This document discusses waves and the electromagnetic spectrum. It begins with a bell ringer asking about amplitude, energy, and medium in waves. The objectives are to build understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and the relationship between amplitude and energy. The agenda includes discussing electromagnetic radiation, building a wave generator, and homework. The bulk of the document defines the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays, discussing their properties and uses. It also covers how amplitude is squaredly related to energy in waves. Students will add straws to a wave generator in groups to demonstrate transverse waves.
