Electromagnetic Spectrum

Description

Do your students glaze over during reading time?
Struggling with vocabulary retention?
Noticing shorter and shorter attention spans year after year?

If you’re nodding “yes” to any of these, this electromagnetic spectrum reading is here to save the day!

 

Reading comprehension doesn’t have to be boring or overwhelming—and it doesn’t belong only in the ELA classroom! Every teacher can support literacy with the right tools (and a little bit of fun!). Just model, read together, annotate, and let those meaningful discussions begin!

 

I created this line of reading resources to make your life easier and your students more confident readers.

 

Each passage is:

  • ✔️ Clear and engaging
  • ✔️ Written at a grade 6–8 reading level
  • ✔️ Paired with thoughtful, rigorous questions that ask students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically

 

Whether you’re using it for pre-reading, homework, review, or to support absent students—this resource has the flexibility you need to fit your teaching style.

 

Let’s get those students reading, writing, and building vocabulary—without all the prep stress!

 

Topics covered in this electromagnetic spectrum worksheet include:

  • wave properties
  • descriptions of each kind of electromagnetic radiation
  • uses for each

 

Who is this resource for?

This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students in grades 6-9. It comprehensively covers the mentioned topics, and includes several comprehension and extension questions that will lock in learning.

NGSS Standards covered by this Electromagnetic Spectrum Worksheet:

MS-PS4-2 Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Emphasis is on both light and mechanical waves. Examples of models could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions. Assessment is limited to qualitative applications pertaining to light and mechanical waves.

MS-PS4-3 Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals. Emphasis is on a basic understanding that waves can be used for communication purposes. Examples could include using fiber optic cable to transmit light pulses, radio wave pulses in wifi devices, and conversion of stored binary patterns to make sound or text on a computer screen. Assessment does not include binary counting. Assessment does not include the specific mechanism of any given device.
