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.

Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use
In this lesson, students review key architecture components found in Ancient Greek Architecture and are challenged to create a multi-layer structure to hold their body weight. Students use the
