Electromagnetic spectrum for elementary school

The resources are for K-5 students and teachers. They can be used to introduce and demonstrate to learners the types of light, waves, energy, and other related topics. The resources also offer lesson plans, examples, and activities for teachers. The material will prepare teachers and help students learn everything there is to know about light and energy, visible or not. The collection addresses EDI because much of the content is hands-on, with guided practice, and opportunities to work together. Also, many of the experiments are designed to be open so that there is not only one answer and students can use their own thinking.
