Step 1• Glue small

wavelength across bottom of flaps. LONG short wavelength

Step 2

• Write the names of all the types of EM waves from Radio to Gamma Rays.

Fold on the BOLD solid line.

Cut along the horizontal lines.Only cut up to BOLD line!

Under each flap (inside) include the following:

• Two (2) uses of that wave • Two (2) sources of that wave (emitted from)• Harmful effect(s) from that wave• Wavelength• Two (2) COLORED graphics – (can be hand drawn or printed at home)

• Neatness, effort, and color on all flaps counts as well!!
