B Level Activities (10points maximum)

1. Research the characteristics, effects, and applications of a specific type of electromagnetic wave in the spectrum. Find information about the range of wavelengths, frequencies, and energies; natural and artificial sources of the waves; and the methods used to detect them. Find out how they were discovered and how they affect matter. Learn about any dangers associated with them and about their uses in technology. Create a poster, brochure, bulletin board display, chart or web page. (You may choose to include a second type of EM wave in your brochure or create a second brochure for bonus points)

2. Create a question to investigate and approval by Mr. Sailer before you experiment.
