Tammy Flannery: Electromagnetic Spectrum

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.

This site describes how each wave fits into the spectrum, their sequence, uses, dangers, and their composition. It also provides the students with a quiz on all information.

 

 

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.

The following site provides information and additional material on the topic of light and the electromagnetic spectrum.

 

http://chesapeake.towson.edu/data/all_electro.asp

This site explains the role of electromagnetic radiation in remote sensing. It describes the wave nature of radiation. Identifies and describes each of the types of electromagnetic radiation. It explains the ways energy interacts with the Earth and its atmosphere.

 

http://observe.arc.nasa.gov/nasa/education/reference/emspec/emspectrum.html

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

 

http://school.discovery.com/lessonplans/activities/electromagneticspectrum/

This site provides a lesson on the sunŐs 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.

 

http://www.krysstal.com/spectrum.html

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

 

http://www.howstuffworks.com/radio-spectrum.htm

This site further examines how the Radio Spectrum works.

 

http://resources.yesican-science.ca/trek/radiation/final/index_em_matter.html

This site explains how parts of the electromagnetic spectrum react with different forms of matter.

 

 

http://www.geography4kids.com/files/en_emspectrum.html

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.

 

http://www.cosmos4kids.com/files/universe_emradiation.html

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

 

http://www.physics4kids.com/files/light_intro.html

The information on this site reminds us that light and EM radiation are 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 EM radiation, and the number of particles tells you how much radiation there is.

 

http://www.gcse.com/waves/emspectrum.htm

This site provides a tutorial of the electromagnetic spectrum and how the different forms of energy are arranged.

 

 

http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/emwaves.htm

The School for Champions is an educational website that helps students understand lesson material and then quizzes them at the end of each lesson to check for understanding.

 

http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/waves_particles/wavpart2.html

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

 

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

The purpose of this site is to provide the students To 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.

 

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.
