http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

This is a free online encyclopedia containing many facts on the electromagnetic spectrum.

http://imagers.gsfc.nasa.gov/ems/ems.html

This site defines waves and electromagnetic waves. It completely describes and lists characteristics of each section on the electromagnetic spectrum.

http://www.can-do.com/uci/ssi2001/emspectrum.html

This site lets the students explore the Electromagnetic Spectrum using a variety of interactive Internet resources and hands-on activities.

http://www.altair.org/

This web site teaches understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum using hands-on experiments, suitable for classroom, self-study, or science fair. Here you can learn practical examples demonstrating the discoveries of Faraday, Maxwell, Tesla, Einstein, Feynman and more.

This site explains how there are waves of energy and light moving all around us in the form of TV and audio transmissions, gamma radiation from space, and heat in the atmosphere. Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation.

This site provides a lesson on the sun’s ability to transmit energy to Earth by electromagnetic waves. It explains the eight main types of electromagnetic waves and their sequence on the electromagnetic spectrum according to their wavelengths.

The information on this site explains waves of energy are called electromagnetic because they have both electric and magnetic characteristics. Physicists classify them by the frequency of their wavelength, going from high to low frequency.

This site is an animated tour of the electromagnetic spectrum. It reviews the importance and placement of each section.

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html

This site provides information on the electromagnetic spectrum along with the capability of quizzing the students on each section.

http://www.spacetoday.org/DeepSpace/Telescopes/GreatObservatories/Chandra/ElectromagneticSpectrum.html

This site gives a brief explanation of the different parts of the spectrum and includes information on their frequencies.

The information on this site reminds us that light and electromagnetic radiation is energy. There are very small particles moving in a wave pattern; it's just that simple. Scientists call those small particles photons, the wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic radiation, and the number of particles tells you how much radiation there is.
