practical work and group discussion.

Content analysis
Terms
Wave motion
Transverse wave
Wavelength
Amplitude
Crest

Longitudinal wave
Compression and rarefaction

Facts
In water, disturbance propagates from one part to another.
In water, the particles vibrates but not displaced
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves
Light is transverse wave
Infra red ray is transverse wave




Concepts
In a medium the disturabance propagates from one part to another
The wave in which the particle of the medium vibrate perpendicular to
The direction of propagation of wave is transverse wave.
The distance between any two consecutive points which are in the same
state of vibration is called wavelength.
amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from the mean
position
the elevated portion of the wave
Is the crest and the depressed portion is called trough
velocity is the product of wavelength and frequency
In longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction
parallel to the direction of propagation of wave
the regions of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave is called
compression
in a longitudinal wave , the region of decreased pressure is called
rarefaction
Learning outcomes: Enables the pupil to develop
1. Factual knowledge on transverse and longitudinal wave
by
a) Recalling various possibilities of sea waves
b) A transverse wave has crest and trough
c) Recognise the concept of transverse wave and
longitudinal wave
2. Conceptual knowledge on transverse and longitudinal
wave by
a) Explaining the concept of transverse wave and
longitudinal wave
b) Illustrating the transverse and longitudinal wave
c) Uses the concept in new and unfamiliar situations
3. Procedural knowledge on transverse and longitudinal
wave
a) Doing activities on transverse and longitudinal wave
b) Raising questions on various wave motion
4. Metacognitive knowledge on transverse and longitudinal
wave and its role in our daily life by,
a) Focussing the idea ocean waves are transverse
waves and a slinky produces a longitudinal wave
b) Judging the various aspects of wave motion
c) Generating suggestions for wave motion
5. Different process skills like observing, inferring, making
operational definitions, communicating etc.
6. Attitude towards science.




Pre requisites : Students are aware of wave produced when stone is
dropped on still water and also the vibration produced by a
vibrating a string
Teaching learning resources: Discussion, demonstration, experimenting etc

CLASS-ROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE PUPIL RESPONSE

Introduction
Have you seen fisherman angling in the sea?
It is nice to see them angling with the sea to reach
the shore With the waves. And have you even
noticed bats flying in nights and identify obstacles?

Orientation
Teacher divides the students into groups.

Presentation

Activity1

Teacher takes a glassware with some water in it and
asks to drop a pinned thermo coal into the
Water .Note your observation in the science diary.

Discussion clues

1. Does the disturbance propagate to other parts?
2. Where did the wave start from?
3. What is the peculiarity of wave motion?
4. Does the motion resemble a wave?
5. Was there any wave when the water was still?

Concept to be consolidated

1. In a medium the disturbance propagates from
one part to another
1. 2. The wave in which the particle of the medium
vibrates perpendicular to the direction of
propagation of wave is transverse wave.
2. The distance between any two consecutive points
which are in the same state of vibration is called
wavelength.
3. amplitude is the maximum displacement of the
particles from the mean position
4. 5.the elevated portion of the wave
5. Is the crest and the depressed portion is called
trough
6. velocity is the product of wavelength and
frequency





Activity 2

Teacher asks the students to hold the slinky horizontally
And pull it slightly. Compress four or five times from one
end Of the slinky and release them. Note down your
observation in your Science diary.

Discussion clues
1. What is your observation?
2. what is the direction of propagation of the wave
in the slinky?
3. In direction do the particles vibrate?

Concept to be consolidated

1. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium
vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of
propagation of wave
2. the regions of increased pressure in a longitudinal wave
is called compression
3.. in a longitudinal wave , the region of decreased
pressure is called rarefaction


Application level experience
1.Draw the figure of wave formed in a medium with
respect to particles at
Rest and motion.
2. How do bats fly by identifying the obstacles and source
of food in night?


Review
1. What is wave motion?
2. What is transverse wave?
3. What is amplitude?
4. What is wavelength?
5. What are the other factors with transverse wave?
6. What is longitudinal wave?
7. What are the factors with longitudinal wave?
8. Give examples for transverse wave .
9. Give examples for longitudinal wave.
10. Represent a transverse wave graphically



Follow up activity
Find out more examples from your daily life to elicit transverse wave and longitudinal
wave .Note it in your science diary.
