Energy in Waves A Transfer Story (Spaced Out A Cosmic Scene)

www.woub.org/spacedout <br /> <br />This episode focuses on the transfer of energy by waves. Students will be intrigued with the power of energy waves as they view demonstrations not easily replicated in a typical classroom. They are provided examples of energy waves and are drawn into a discussion on a couple of ways to observe that energy is being transferred by a wave. <br /> <br />Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene <br /> <br />Have you ever questioned how astronomers and physicists know so much about the Universe? Can you explain and demonstrate how light and sound waves carry energy? Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene tackles these questions and many more in a humorous and entertaining fashion while conveying insights into the study of astronomy and the physics of waves. <br /> <br />Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) project funded by eTech Ohio and produced by the WOUB Center for Public Media at Ohio University, Athens. This web-based multimedia project consists of eight science and mathematics student video-on-demand modules for at-risk students in grades 8-10, and includes eight teacher self-study video support modules with assessment strategies. All content is aligned with the Ohio Academic Content Standards for physics and astronomy. <br /> <br />The student modules are designed to stimulate and inculcate higher order thinking skills, innate curiosity, and inquiry-based learning. Each student module focuses on specific key concepts: waves carry energy; waves transfer energy; size of the cosmos; measuring distances in space; scale modeling of the solar system; predictable motion of the earth and moon; stellar finger print; brief history of astronomy; and, the formation of all the elements. Intended to be utilized both independently by students with teacher oversight, and as a teaching-learning experience for an entire class, Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene will entice and motivate even the most reluctant students to dig into astronomy, physics and mathematics content with enthusiasm. <br /> <br />The accompanying teacher modules for each episode of Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene illustrate how key concepts may be taught, connections to the standards, and assessment strategies; expand on the materials in the student video, pointing out subtle points that might be missed or are not brought out in the student video; provide suggestions on how to incorporate the student video into daily classroom instruction; and, make connections to mathematics applications. In addition, the teacher modules are the link to curriculum resources - numerous curriculum links identify multiple web-based resources, which provide educators with further background information on the key concepts and student lessons suggestions for the classroom. <br /> <br />As one teacher who participated in the development of the project noted, "When I was a new teacher I struggled to find good, interactive resources to share with my students. This project has a wealth of information for teachers to share with their students and it includes assessments to evaluate their learning progress." <br /> <br />Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene builds on the notion that we learn science by doing science!
