8th Grade Waves, Sound and Light Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Waves carry energy, and light, sound and seismic waves can all be described by amplitude and wavelength. There are 7 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Graph Wave Energy Against Amplitude finds that energy follows amplitude squared, Hydrogen's Line Spectrum and Light Waves matches star spectra to hydrogen lines, and Light Meter Readings at Increasing Distance shows how light spreads. Native sheets practice MS-PS4-1, MS-PS4-2 and MS-PS4-3.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each element gives off light at its own set of wavelengths, so its spectrum works like a fingerprint. Hydrogen's visible lines sit near 410, 434, 486 and 656 nm. On Hydrogen's Line Spectrum and Light Waves, students match a star's dark lines to these values.
