Define light
Explain how light travels
Note the difference in light when compared to
sound and why it can travel through space
Define the electromagnetic spectrum
Explain how visible light “fit” in this spectrum
Explain how the human eye convert radiation
into impulses that your brain interprets as a
picture of the world
Define seismic waves
Note that three types of seismic waves travel
through the earth

Use materials to try to create an earthquake-proof imaginary home
Sound maze – use students to pass along messages in a sort of “relay”
competition. If the “message” given doesn’t match the message that is
received by the teacher at the end, the team loses

Students try identify a material and the position of that material they
cannot see based on the sound it makes as it drops in the classroom.
Light maze – use a flashlight and a series of mirrors to get a single beam
of light to hit a target (must use all mirrors & must stand within a certain
distance from the target
