● Have students summarize their fndings for sound and light using the graphic organizer below.
● Graphic Organizer
● I can explain how a wave's amplitude is
related to the energy of a wave using several models to support the explanation. (qualitative & quantitative)
Activity: TedEd Tsunamis
Objective
Overview
Materials
● I can model and measure wave energy transfer using computer simulations and physical models. (quantitative) ● I can explain how a wave's amplitude is related to the energy of a wave using several
● Watch the Ted Ed lesson on tsunamis (3.5 minutes long). Complete the activities on the website (Think, Dig Deeper, Discuss) ● You will need to create an account to access the activities with the video, but it is free!

Objective
Overview
Materials
● Students will re-watch a video and explain how wave height is related to energy level. Connection to amplitude, frequency, wavelength should be made. ● Students should be able to answer the following questions: What makes some sounds louder than others? Lights brighter than others?
● Tsunami Survival Story ● Tsunami Survival Video (with analysis questions)
● I can draw a model that shows the patterns of
how a wave’s amplitude is related to the energy of thewave
