Riding the Wave

Description:

Students will be introduced to waves through hands-on demonstrations and a concept map scavenger hunt. Students will then perform fun activities to help identify the properties of waves (crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and wave speed).

Sunshine State Standards Grade Level Expectations: Science (1996)

Strand C: Force and Motion

Standard 1: The student understands that types of motion may be described, measured, and predicted.

Benchmark SC.C.1.3.2: The student knows that vibrations in materials set up wave disturbances that spread away from the source (e.g., sound and earthquake waves).

Sixth
1. uses common items (a pebble dropped in water, a marble dropped in sand) to demonstrate that vibrations in materials set up visible disturbances that spread away from a force in all directions
