The class will be divided into teams.
One player from each team will come to the front of the room and grab a white board
Each team will also have a whiteboard at their group
Once a question is chosen, each player writes down their answer on their board. This is different from the TV as it is NOT a speed game of who can answer first
While they are writing, each team will quietly discuss and write their on their own whiteboard
Players then show their boards and points are awarded
If the player was correct, their teams gets the points
If they are incorrect, the team shows their answer. If this is correct they get HALF the amount
There are TWO Daily Doubles on the Board
Lastly, there is a FINAL JEOPARDY to find our winner

What is the anvil
This transparent outer layer of the eye helps bend (refract) light as it enters.
ANSWER
What is the cornea
The measure of a wave from top to bottom
ANSWER
What is amplitude
The wave that moves (horizontal)
ANSWER
What are Longitudinal Waves
When molecules are tightly packed
ANSWER
What is Compression
If a person has trouble seeing clearly at a distance, it is likely that light is focusing in front of the retina. This condition is called this.
ANSWER
What is nearsighted
This bone is triggered by motion in the eardrum
ANSWER
What is the hammer
This type of electromagnetic wave is used in remote controls and is felt as heat but cannot be seen
ANSWER
What is Infrared
The line that runs the length of a wave?
ANSWER
What is a Rest
This is the smallest bone in the body
ANSWER
What is the stirup
This spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear changes vibrations into electrical signals for the brain.

WRITE QUESTION HERE USE ALL CAPS
ANSWER
ANSWER HERE
This Color has the shortest wavelength in visible light
ANSWER
What is Violet
This process occurs when light is taken in by a material instead of being reflected or transmitted
ANSWER
What is absorption
This process splits white light into different colors (like a rainbow)
ANSWER
What is Dispersion
This part of the eye controls how much light enters by changing the size of the pupil
ANSWER
What is the iris

This is a measurement of sound?
ANSWER
What are Decibles
All electromagnetic Waves travel at this same speed in a vaccum
ANSWER
What is the speed of light
This part of the ear vibrates when sound waves hit it and sends those vibrations deeper into the ear
ANSWER
What is the Eardrum
This happens when light bends as it passes from one medium to another, like air to water
ANSWER
What is refraction
This structure changes shape to help focus light onto the retina
ANSWER
What is the lens
These specialized cells in the retina detect light; some detect color while others detect light and dark.
ANSWER
What are rods and cones
This term describes how white light separates into different colors when it passes through a prism
ANSWER
What is dispersion
This occurs when light bounces off a surface, like a mirror.
