Science Pathways Secondary: Physical Science - Secondary Waves Kit

• Grades: Secondary

Highlights:

Explore light wave optics, electromagnetic radiation, and acoustic wave mechanics through advanced physical science experimentation. The Secondary Waves Kit enables middle and high school students to investigate light transmission, refraction, diffraction, and wave frequency dynamics. Students utilize multi-spectrum light sources, optical lenses, and acoustic resonance apparatus to conduct quantitative wave physics investigations.

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

• Geometric & Wave Optics: Quantitative analysis of light behavior including refraction, reflection, focal points, and light path bending across varied lens geometries and optical media.

• Light Spectra & Lasers: Analyzing light frequencies, wave emission, and spectral division using specialized spectroscopic tools and focused monochromatic light sources.

• Sound Waves & Resonance: Exploration of acoustic frequencies, physical wave mechanical motion, and standing waves across varied physical mediums.
