Product description
From the author
Electromagnetic Spectrum and Radiation introduces visible light, non-visible radiation and astronomical observations through teacher slides, a student note-taking deck and a Word outline.
The teacher PowerPoint has 25 slides and the student version has 24. An Additional Resources document links to an Eagle Nebula resource, and a Google access page provides online-copy instructions. Online resources and any linked exit ticket require separate access.
The two downloads overlap; one also contains a PDF presentation copy. Choose the formats needed for your lesson.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify visible and non-visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum
Compare wavelength and frequency across parts of the spectrum
Interpret the presentation’s stellar-emission graphs
Teaching tips
Review the “How Your Lesson Works” instructions near the beginning, then display the teacher slides while students complete notes in their own deck or Word outline.
Pause at the spectrum and emission graphs and ask students what the axes and trends show.
Check the Additional Resources link before teaching. It links to an external Eagle Nebula resource rather than an embedded video file.
Skills covered
Reading spectrum and stellar-emission diagrams
Completing guided notes with radiation vocabulary
Comparing examples of visible, microwave, infrared and X-ray observations
