Wonderful Wave Design
by Ana Ramirez
This is a lesson that allows students to investigate sound waves moving from one place to another. By using simple materials, students can have significant influence on large-scale variables of frequency, amplitude, and wave speed as they observe wave motions that create some striking and beautiful effects. By watching the gummy candy, students can see the amplitude and wavelength.
