Description
“
This activity will engage kids and you’ll be amazed at how interested and on task they are! It’s because every kid wants to know why the sky is blue! They also learn why sunsets are red as well! This activity hit’s the NGSS Performance Expectation “Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials MS-PS4-2.” Students first attempt to make two models. One of why the sky is blue and one model of why sunsets are red. Inquiry and tapping into prior knowledge is a very important part of NGSS and this does just that! It’s also for great metacognition! Students should not be frontloaded any information as to why the sky is blue or sunsets are red. However, my students do know what Wavelength, Frequency, Absorption, Reflection, Transmission and Refraction are. After watching 4 engaging YouTube clips, students are then able to revise their models accurately and know why the sky is blue and sunsets are red!!! This activity is 60-75 minutes.

NGSS Performance Expectation:
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials MS-PS4-2.
NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas:
A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. (MS-PS4-1)
A wave model of light is useful for explaining brightness, color, and the frequency-dependent bending of light at a surface between media. (MS-PS4-2)
A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. (MS-PS4-1)
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices:
Developing and Using Models Modeling in 6–8 builds on K–5 experiences and progresses to developing, using, and revising models to describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design systems.
Develop and use a model to describe phenomena. (MS-ESS1-1), (MS-ESS1-2)
NGSS Cross Cutting Concepts:
Patterns can be used to identify cause-and-effect relationships. (MS-ESS1-1)
Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions. (MS-ESS1-2)
