Waves

Recently in science class we learned about waves. We learned more about them through slinkys and ropes. We got into partners and we moved the rope up and down. One partner stood still and the other moved the rope up and down. This showed the crest and through of the wave. Another thing we did with a jump rope is put it on the floor and moved it by flicking it. If the rope was flicked slowly the wave would be slow. If the rope was flicked fast and quickly, the wave would be fast and quick. Also, if it was fast the waves would get caught up in the middle. With the slinky we put it on the ground and flicked it to each other. The slinky would get caught up in the middle and there was a area of compression. Overall, waves are very interesting.
