The Front Cover Write
the unit title on the cover. "Unit VII - Mechanical Waves and Sound"
Decorate the front cover with drawings of
concepts from the chapter. Be
neat and use lots of creativity and color. The
Inside Front Cover Write "Objectives"
at the top of the page. List the following unit objectives: Distinguish
between transverse and compression waves. Identify
wave properties (amplitude, wavelength, rarefaction, compression, frequency). Describe
how wave properties determine the pitch and intensity of waves. Calculate
wavelength, period or frequency of waves.
Give examples of transverse and compression
waves and explain how waves transfer energy. Explain
the interaction of forces and motion in generating waves. Illustrate
how waves interact with each other and describe the consequences of that interaction. Demonstrate
how the Doppler Effect changes the pitch of a sound wave. Use
a wave graph to determine the wavelength and amplitude of a wave.
Inside Back Cover Write
"Concepts" at the top of the page. Divide the page into nine squares.
Explain the answers to the unit objectives
with words and diagrams. Back
