Since you asked...

A Summer Challenge >>> Some of you were interested in actually sending your own radio signals - I have no idea how -- but here are some sites that give instructions, and of course you can google your own:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Your-Own-Low-Power-AM-Radio-Transmitter/?ALLSTEPS

Either of these directions involves buying several parts, an oscillator and a transistor and a board.  Let me know if you get it going.  And have a wonderful summer.

OR: how about a solar powered electromagnetic pendulum - the best of all possible combos!  http://makezine.com/2010/06/02/beautiful-solar-pendulum-build/

Tidbits...

More Electromagnetic Induction!



The Electromagnetic Spectrum: Galactic Space



Light in Slow Motion (Remember in our textbook, it said that light is both a particle and a wave- if you watch the pulse of light in the Coke bottle, you can visualize how this is so.  See it as a particle, a pulse, and then see it as a wave.)
