Students learn that sound and light are waves that have basic features in common with ocean waves.
Using a diagram of a moving wave, students learn the definitions of crest, trough, amplitude, and wavelength, and are challenged to use these terms to label the parts of the diagram and then the parts of a drawing of an ocean wave. Students learn about sound waves and their frequencies and conduct an experiment to learn how the length of a guitar string relates to the sound it plays.
