Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
In this creative lesson, students will use a slinky to model two types of waves: longitudinal/compression waves and transverse waves. Through class exploration, students will first practice making the motion/shape of each wave and then explore how different speeds change the wave. This lesson proceeds a lesson where students find, measure and calculate the velocity of a wave they create. At the end of this lesson, students will be able to define and identify compression/longitudinal and transverse waves and identify the key components in a wave.
