Create a diagram to show how a wave changes when it moves from one medium to another and label the reflected, absorbed, and transmitted parts.

• Draw and label a wave passing through a single medium.

• Draw and label a wave reflecting off a surface.

• Draw and label a wave passing through two different media with parts reflected, absorbed, and transmitted.

• Draw and label a wave being absorbed completely by a medium.

What is the primary factor that determines whether a wave will be transmitted through a material?

• The color of the material

• The thickness of the material

• The material's density

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Design an experiment to test how different materials affect the transmission of sound waves.

• Measure how loud a sound is after it passes through various materials using a decibel meter.

• Shine a light through different materials and measure the brightness.

• Drop different objects and measure how high they bounce.

• Taste different substances to see how they change flavor.
