Tuesday, April 21st: Introduction to Waves

When you hear the word wave, what do you think of?

Surfers or the beach?

The queen of England waving?

Spectators at a sporting events "doing the wave"?

Did you know that a wave is not matter?  It's not really a "thing".  It's not energy either.  It's the result of energy- it's a disturbance caused by energy.  

Let's learn more about waves! 

Start by watching this brief video:

Imagine if you saw all the waves around you all the time!  It would be overwhelming!

Now,  take some time to read the following text: 

An Introduction to Waves and Their Properties

When you finish reading, go back to the text and number the paragraphs 1-14.

For each paragraph, write one key fact OR one important vocabulary word with its definition.  You may use this note-catcher or create your own.
