Electromagnetic Spectrum Card sort

Electromagnetic Spectrum Card sort

(0)
This is a fun activity to help students learn the order of the electromagnetic spectrum. I print out the colour sheets and laminate them so students can hold them up, then get them to arrange themselves into the right order. They need to look for the visual clues to help them e.g. colours and wavelength on the background. This could be printed out in a smaller version e.g. 2 slides to a page and students can then do this in pairs or small groups. Great as an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum but also good a s a revision activity.
