Electromagnetic Spectrum Foldable
· Take 2 pieces of paper – fold each piece into 3 equal sections
o Tape the two pages together – end to end
· Draw a wave across both pages to show the long wavelength moving to the short wavelength
o Or draw the different wavelengths for each section to show the changes in wavelengths
o Label the ends of the spectrum as long wavelength and short wavelength
o Label the ends of spectrum as low frequency and high frequency
· Label each section with the name of that category of wave:
Radio Waves ~ Microwaves ~ Infrared ~ Visible Light ~ Ultraviolet ~ X-rays & Gamma Rays
· In each section include the following things:
o characteristics of this type of wave (key facts & properties)
o how is this type of wave used or found in industry or everyday lives
o draw images of at least two uses for this type of wave
