Wave Properties Task Cards Review NGSS Physical Science 56 Questions

Are you looking for a versatile tool to boost student engagement in your middle school classroom? Task cards are the perfect solution! This set of 56 questions aligns with NGSS middle school physical science standards related to types of waves, parts of waves, longitudinal and transverse waves, measuring amplitude, frequency, and wavelength.

Properties of Transverse and Longitudinal Waves, Measuring Amplitude, Wavelength and Frequency of Waves NGSS Middle School Physical Science Review Task Cards

A total of 56 questions on these topics:

• Properties of Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
• Vocabulary including terms like Medium, Amplitude, Wavelength, Hertz, Frequency, Trough, Crest, Rarefaction, Reflection, and Compression
• Relationship between Energy, Amplitude, Frequency, and Wavelength without the use of formulas. Questions explore how changes in amplitude, wavelength, or frequency impact the wave's structure and energy. Students analyze which waves possess the most/least energy based on the wave model.
• Describing wave features using diagrams with measurements to determine wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Students should understand that frequency represents the number of waves per second. Questions require students to interpret wave trains and calculate wavelengths for a single wave cycle without the use of formulas.
