How it came about…
The Electromagnetic Wave Theory
(Adapted from APEX Physics LP Chapter 3 Lesson 3: Student Activity 3a: The
Electromagnetic Theory)
Objectives:
• Match the scientists with their contributions to the development of the
electromagnetic theory.
• Make comic strips of the scientists’ contributions.
Materials:
• 1 white cartolina
• 1 marker pen
• 1 pencil with eraser
• coloring materials (optional)
Procedure:
I. Match the scientists given below with their contributions.
Scientists Contributions

showed the relationship of electricity and
magnetism
______2. Faraday b. Showed experimental evidence of
electromagnetic waves and their link to light
______3. Hertz c. Demonstrated the magnetic effect based on
the direction of current
______4. Maxwell d. Formulated the principle behind
electromagnetic induction.
______5. Oersted e. Showed how a current carrying wire behaves
like a magnet
II. Using the information you gathered previously, make a concept
web/comic strips of the contributions of the following scientists.
