=Due Friday, May 27 =

1. Obtain information about your topic from our textbook __and__ by going to search engines such as Google. Keep the following in mind for __each section__ as you do your work:

 2. Write about 100-150 words on each of the required topics listed above. Use a word processor to save your work.
 * Use sites that end in .edu, or .gov for the best information. Your sites for information must satisfy this criteria.
 * Make bulleted lists only in the table. You may not use complete sentences. This is to help you avoid accidental plagiarism. When you go to write your rough draft and final copy, you can use your bulleted list as you put the information into your own words.
 *  You need to include at least __three relevant illustrations__ and include an explanation of your illustration in the written work that you post. These may be illustrations you make or some from the web (don't have to end in .edu or .gov; must include citations).
 *  Use either 1 video you find or a video you make to help explain your part of the project. Flip cameras are available for you to use if you need to borrow one. You may also use Photo booth or Quick time movie to make your video.
 * Include at least one experiment/activity. Your classmates will be doing this experiment/activity. Make sure it adds to the understanding of the content. The activity may be hands-on or a link to one on the web.

3. **Always** do your work in a __processing program__ on your own computer. Then, cut and paste your own written work from your own word processor into the Team Wiki Making Progress on our Project page. If there is a glitch in your connection while you are working, you will not lose your work this way!
 *  Be sure that in all work that you do in this course, that you use entirely, **100%** your own wording. Using your own wording is very important as part of the learning process.
 * As you make your postings, you need to __list a working web page link__ for any locations that you use in getting your information or illustrations. Be sure to list the exact page that you read, not the overall homepage for a website. Also, be sure to write http:// just before the www web address.

 How You Will Be Evaluated:
This assignment is worth 20 points. To receive the points, you need to assist in subdividing the topic within your Team Wiki area, post to the Team Wiki at least 100 words of material that you researched and composed 100% in your own wording, post your illustrations with a relevanat explanation of the illustration, and post any web addresses used in your research, your writing, and illustrations not made by you.

=Let's begin!= Insert your research below. The table will expand as needed. Remember to refer to the objectives on the first page for guidance. You might even want to copy and paste each objective into the table so you can determine who is responsible for each.
 * Name || Topic # || Research || Illustrations || Video || Activity || Source ||
 * Joshua || Section 1 || **//__ WAVES __//**

//__ Types of Waves __// Mechanical Waves- A wave to requires a medium through which to travel.

Requires a medium.

Made up of longitudinal and transverse.

__ Longitudinal __ Longitudinal is solid, liquid, and gas.

An example of longitudinal is a sound wave.

__ Transverse __ Transverse is liquid, and gas.

An example of transverse is a rope or water.

__ Mechanical Waves __ YouTube - Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves by Newman and Reidstra
 * //__ Extra Sites and videos __//**

//__Electromagnetic Waves__//- a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which radiate outward at the speed of light.

Does not require a medium.

Made up of transverse.

An example of transverse is light waves and radio waves.

Key terms wave- a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium.

medium- a physical environment in which phenomena occur.

Transverse Wave- a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling.

longitudinal Wave- a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion.

 * === Crest - the highest point of a wave ===
 * === Trough - the lowest point of a wave ===
 * === Amplitude - the maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from there rest position ===
 * === Wavelength - the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave ===
 * === Period - the time that it takes a complete cycle or wave oscillation to occur ===
 * === Frequency - the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time ===
 * === Doppler effect an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving === || [[image:wavelength_sm.jpg]] || [|The effect of sound waves] ||  ||   ||
 * Abbie || Section 3 || * When waves are moving though a medium of through space they move in straight lines
 * Reflection- the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through
 * Diffraction- a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge, such as an opening
 * Refraction- the bending of a wavefront as the wavefront passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs
 * Interference- the combination of two or more waves of the same frequency that results in a single wave
 * Constructive Interference- any interference in which waves combine so that the resulting wave is bigger than the original waves
 * Destructive Interference- any interference in which waves combine so that the resulting wave is smaller than the largest of the original waves
 * Standing Wave- a pattern of vibration that simulates a wave that is standing still || [[image:standing_wave.gif]][[image:waveinterference.gif]][[image:wavesjavafigure1.jpg]] ||  ||   ||   ||
