As Sci 10 SLG Week 4 Quarter Ii

This student learning guide discusses electromagnetic radiation and its effects on living things and the environment. It provides examples of different types of EM radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. For each type of radiation, it describes how it is produced and potential dangers of too much or too little exposure, such as tissue damage, ozone depletion, skin cancer, and radiation poisoning. The guide includes enrichment activities to test the student's understanding of how different EM radiations are produced and their hazards.

Quarter II, Week 4

Lesson 4: The Effects of EM Radiation on Living Things and the Environment

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY

S10FE-IIe-f49: Explain the effects of EM radiation on living things and the


environment.

In this set of activities, you should:


1. describe the production of different EM radiations; and
2. identify the effects of the different EM radiations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER?

Good day Maylinian! Let us enjoy as we learn about the different effects of EM
radiations on living things and the environment😊

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
- Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is a form of energy that is all around us and takes many
forms, such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays. Sunlight is also a
form of EM energy, but visible light is only a small portion of the EM spectrum,
which contains a broad range of electromagnetic wavelengths.
- All life is dependent on small doses of electromagnetic radiation.

ANSWERS:
infrastructures and health due to radiation poisoning and cell damage. ____________________________
1. GAMMA RAY
2. Australia has its ozone completely depleted that brought about intense wave of heat. __________________
2. ULTRAVIOLET
3. The greenhouse gas molecules absorb the IR light, and then re-radiate some of it back to the Earth's surface. This
3. ULTRAVIOLET
makes the surface hotter so it radiates more light. _______________________
4. RADIOWAVE
4. Large amount of radio frequency is emitted by a cell tower causing a rise in internal body heat that damages
tissues. _________________________ 5. GAMMA RAY
5. The meltdown of Chernobyl Power Plant releases high levels of radiation that causes mutation for the animals and
plants living within the area. _____________________
