Answer Cards
B. Grade 10 – Electromagnetic Diary
Record your interactions with the electromagnetic waves for at least one (1)
day. Remember cell phones, sunlight, heat (ovens, heaters), microwaves, radios,
remote controls, wireless modems etc. Some example entries are given.
Your answer will be discussed during sharing activity.
e.g.
Problem: What kind of Electromagetic waves am I using for a day and what are the things that produces
those waves?
Hypothesis: I think, it depends on what time I’m going to wake up. If I’m going to wake up early, I can
use the electric kettle and etc. but if I wake up late… I would feel so lazy that I would not use/make
things that I’m supposed to use/make such as… Making myself a drink or looking at the sun when it’s
rising.
Conclusion: To conclude, this makes my hypothesis correct. If I didn’t wake up early…. I wouldn’t
be able to see the sun rising. If we’re going to sum this all up, you are only going to know what type of
em waves and things that uses those depending on the situation you’re in. This means that if you chose
to be locked up in your room, your only going to see few em waves and the things that uses those
waves and if you chose to be more active, your going to see more em waves and the things that uses
those waves.
