In our Grade 10 science class, students are currently immersed in an engaging unit on waves, their applications, and motion. This week, they dedicated time in the lab to exploring the fundamental properties of light, focusing on reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Through hands-on experiments, students observed how these properties manifest in real-world scenarios and learned about the different types of waves, including mechanical and electromagnetic waves. They explored essential wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and period, while also studying sound production and propagation. The curriculum has included an overview of the electromagnetic spectrum, which highlighted various applications of light, including lasers and fiber optics. Students examined how mirrors and lenses are used for vision correction and discussed the implications of wave phenomena in natural disasters, specifically tsunamis. This comprehensive exploration enhances their understanding of wave mechanics and connects theoretical concepts to practical applications in technology and environmental science.
