Core Idea - Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

[6.PS.4.1] - Use diagrams of a simple wave to explain that (a) a wave has a repeating pattern with a specific amplitude, frequency, and wavelength, and (b) the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy of the wave. State Assessment Boundaries: Electromagnetic waves are not expected in state assessment. State assessment will be limited to standard repeating waves.

Predecessor Standards:

  • 4.PS.4.1
    Develop a model of a simple mechanical wave (including sound) to communicate that waves (a) are regular patterns of motion along which energy travels and (b) can cause objects to move. Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include diagrams, analogies, and physical models. State Assessment Boundary: Interference effects, electromagnetic waves, or non-periodic waves are not expected in state assessment.

Successor Standards:

No Successor Standards found.

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.RP.A.2
    Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship, including the use of units. For example: This recipe has a ratio of three cups of flour to four cups of sugar, so there is ¾ cup of flour for each cup of sugar; We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of five dollars per hamburger. Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.
