This unit's major theme is Energy. In this unit, students in middle school grades explore wave energy. Students observe the properties of waves that allow waves to transfer energy, describe different sounds by vibrations that transfer energy, explore the energy of sound that gives each vibration its own distinct characteristic, understand that they would not be able to see objects if the objects did not reflect light into their eyes, observe the refraction of light, and observe many examples of white light being separated into colors.
