Designed to complement the Grade 8 Amplify Science Light Waves unit, these ready-to-use assessments provide a simple way to monitor understanding, identify misconceptions, and determine when students are ready to move forward.

The questions address important unit concepts, including electromagnetic waves, visible light, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, wave energy, reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission, color, transparent and opaque materials, and using wave models to explain how light interacts with matter.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• 36 numbered science exit tickets
• Four quarter-page tickets per student page
• Colorful unit-themed ticket backs
• Recall, concept, and reasoning rigor labels
• Two-page teacher answer guide
• Suggested answers for constructed-response questions
