| I would like to come into the classroom and present the following concept/activity: |
I specialise in using elecromagnetics to image
the earth. There might be potential links that could be
established between my work and the broad concepts
laid out below. The geophysical tools I use might provide
a novel example of how electromagnetism is used.
The science falls under earth and space science as well
as basic physics. There are also technology components,
but these seem to be outside of the immediate curriculum.

| |
| I can present this at a level appropriate for (choose one or more): |
| Grades 9-12 (ages 13-18) |
| |
| I would categorize this science as (choose one or more): |
Earth and Space Science
Chemistry or Physics |
| |
| relevant "learning standards" or "broad concepts": |
Physics
Broad Concept: Oscillating electric or magnetic fields can generate electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum of energies.
5.5 Identify appropriate units of measurement for current, voltage, and resistance, and explain how they are measured.
Earth and Space Science
Broad Concept: Two fundamental energy concepts included in the earth system are gravity and electromagnetism.
1.2 Describe the components of the electromagnetic spectrum and give examples of its impact on our lives.
1.3 Describe the characteristics of waves (wavelength, frequency, velocity, amplitude).
1.4 Describe the nature of the continuous emission and absorption spectrum that indicates the composition of stars.
