PHET: Intro to Waves & Wave on a string

BrainPOP: Waves Movies

Study Jams: sound waves (link)

************************************************************************************************

In this interactive tutorial, students can explore how frequency, amplitude, and wavelength are related. Students can create 16 different scenarios, make observations, & take notes for each scenario. What patterns did they notice? How does changing the frequency affect the wavelength? How does changing the amplitude affect the shape of the wave? What happens to the boat in each scenario?
