Hands on lab for waves using slinkies.

A wave can be described as an energy disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another. Waves, simply put, are energy moving from one place to another. As the wave moves through the medium (water, slinky, air), energy is being passed from one particle to the next. Waves occur around us every day. Some common places we experience waves are in sound, light, water, and earthquakes.

In this lab students will explore how energy moves through the wave using the slinkies.

Here is a link to great slinkies for this lab if you need them.
