This e-Lab covers a range of topics on the electromagnetic spectrum in an easy-to-understand way. Students apply new vocabulary and make predictions about different frequencies and behaviors of various kinds of waves.

Participants on teams will interact with the Lab Director to complete their Lab Journals and document observations and explanations.

During this 60 minute video conference, your students will learn basic concepts of the electromagnetic spectrum, identify waves, and determine if they are naturally occurring or manmade while investigating if they are harmful or not. Demonstrations from the Lab Director will deepen their understanding of this topic and show how NASA uses the spectrum to learn more about the universe.

Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling University (West Virginia)

Wheeling, WV
United States

In addition to offering award winning, state-of-the-art programs in a $500,000 space simulator, the Challenger Learning Center, thanks to technology, brings its innovative programs to distant classrooms around the world through its electronic distance-learning programs, known as e-Missions. The CLC flies more than 800 e-Missions for schools, many located in traditionally underserved districts, each year. We provide FREE Teacher Training sessions via video conference for any of our distance learning programs.

The Challenger Learning Center® also offers adult and student learners the chance to climb aboard a space station and complete a mission in the role of astronauts, scientists, and engineers with its Corporate Missions. A successful mission requires critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving.

Program Details

Format

As members of the Spectrum Wave Analysis Team (S.W.A.T.),students will be given the task of investigating waves to determine their characteristics, sources, and potential uses. They will be given partial information about different waves, and will work together to complete a report on their assigned wave to learn more about how it affects our everyday lives both on Earth and in space.

Objectives

Participants will learn about the various waves, their usefulness, if they are harmful or not, etc. They will also use their lab journals to document their observations of the demonstrations and explanations given by the Lab Director.
