Middle schoolers formulate hypotheses on wave behavior and test them. In this physics instructional activity, students compare and contrast transverse and compression waves. They determine the wavelength of transverse waves.

Students differentiate the properties of longitudinal and transverse waves. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate CEENBoT's rate of propagation by measuring its frequency and distance per cycle. They use a mathematical...

Light waves and sound waves are the focus of this science lesson designed for 5th graders. Besides discovering how these waves travel, learners also discover the basic properties of waves, and analyze data tables and graphs. The...

Learners demonstrate the motion of waves. In this wave lesson, students demonstrate the various attributes to waves and the properties through a variety of hands-on activities.
