Classify light waves
Middle school students in grades 6–8 classify different types of light waves, exploring the electromagnetic spectrum and distinguishing visible light from other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Teachers can use this worksheet to reinforce understanding of wave properties — frequency, wavelength, and energy — within a Physical Science unit on waves. It pushes students to apply classification skills to a topic with real-world relevance in technology and biology.
Learning objectives
- Classify light waves by their position on the electromagnetic spectrum
