Building Science Vocabulary
RADIATION – is energy that comes from a source and travels
through space at the speed of light.
IONIZING RADIATION – it is a type of low-energy radiation that
does not have enough energy to remove an electron from an atom
or molecule.
NON- IONIZING RADIATION- form of energy that acts by removing
electrons from atoms and molecules of materials that include air,
water, and living tissue.
RADIOACTIVITY - is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously.
MILLISIEVERT- is a radioprotection unit measuring the radiation
dose received either from a radioactive source.
Motivation
Students will observe images that show effects of EM radiation on living
things and the environment
What do the images imply?
How do you feel after you are exposed to your devices for too long?
B. Activity
Introductory Activity: Students will complete the table below by choosing
what matches to the types of radiation with its use and its effect on living
things.
Effects on living things and environment
Activates High doses can Cause changes

How would you describe the effects of EM radiation based on its
region?
How much radiation are you exposed to daily?
D. Abstraction Question and Answer:
E. Application Activity: Create a concept map that summarizes the benefits and hazards
of EM radiation.
Application
How significant is having awareness on the benefits and hazards of
EM radiation?
Why do you think people must recognize the importance of
managing the effects of the different EM radiation?
How would you apply your knowledge about proper management of
the effects of EM radiation?
