Slide 18 / 59
SLIDE 7
Classwork #3: Sound
Slide 19 / 59
13 The ________________ around you is
- ccupied by very small objects that we call
- particles. You can’t see them because they’re too
small.
Slide 20 / 59
14 A ________________ moves through the air through a series of collisions.
Slide 21 / 59
SLIDE 8
15 Compare and contrast the motion of particles in a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.
Slide 22 / 59
16 True or False: Sound is an example of a transverse wave.
A True B False
Slide 23 / 59
Homework: Sound
Slide 24 / 59
SLIDE 9
17 True or False: Higher pitched sounds are always louder then lower pitched sounds.

Classwork #4: Sight
Slide 27 / 59
SLIDE 10
19 We need ________________ in order to see.
Slide 28 / 59
20 So far, we learned that three things could happen to light, it can either be absorbed, bent, or ________________.
Slide 29 / 59
21 The sun and other light sources give off ________________ of light. They will continue on in straight paths until they collide with something else.
Slide 30 / 59
SLIDE 11
Homework: Sight
Slide 31 / 59
22 Why can’t we see in the dark?
Slide 32 / 59
23 True or False: We can see an object because after the light hits the object it is reflected back to our eyes.
A True B False
Slide 33 / 59
SLIDE 12
Classwork #5: Color
Slide 34 / 59
24 What colors do you get after passing a beam of white light through a prism?

25 True or False: All of the colors are contained within a beam of white light.
A True B False
Slide 36 / 59

26 True or False: The color we see is the color that is absorbed by the object.
A True B False
Slide 37 / 59
Homework: Color
Slide 38 / 59
27 The color that we see is ________________ off the
- bject; this is why we see that color instead of all
the other colors.
Slide 39 / 59
SLIDE 14
28 A box appears red because it ________________ the color red and ________________ the rest of the other colors.
Slide 40 / 59
29 If nothing is reflected off the surface of the object what color do you see?
Slide 41 / 59
Classwork #6: Mirrors
Slide 42 / 59
SLIDE 15
30 True or False: Light reflected off the surface of a mirror will go off at a different angle then the one it hit the mirror.
A True B False
Slide 43 / 59

Slide 44 / 59
Homework: Mirrors
Slide 45 / 59
SLIDE 16
32
Which path will the beam of light take after hitting the mirror or mirrors? (The colors for the paths are just meant to make it easier to see the different paths of light, we are not asking anything about color here!) A path 1 B path 2 C path 3
