Water Waves The type of water waves we are studying in Activity 4 are caused by a disturbance (earthquake or ice falling in water, or a pebble in a pond for a small wave)The type of water waves we are studying in Activity 4 are caused by a disturbance (earthquake or ice falling in water, or a pebble in a pond for a small wave) Normal waves are caused by the tides (gravitational pull of the moon) and wind.Normal waves are caused by the tides (gravitational pull of the moon) and wind.

U2C1A4 Explore Your Ideas Part A: Explore Water Waves
11
the cork will move up and down as the wave passes by YES! energy is being transferred from the finger to the water to the cork fingerwater cork

B b/c it is the second longest wavelength D b/c it is the shortest wavelength
16
Part B: Explore Sound Waves Read p. 129 and Step 1
18
Tuning Fork video

150 Hz 300 Hz 600 Hz 150 Hz
21
The 150 Hz sound has the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength. The 600 Hz sound has the highest frequency and the shortest wavelength. Wavelength Frequency/ Pitch, Wavelength
22
Buzzer video
23
bell jar video
24
When the air is removed from the jar, there is no sound heard from the buzzer. This is because there is no medium for the compression wave to travel in. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel in!
25
Part C: Explore Earthquake Waves Read pp 130-131, t tt then complete Make Sense of Your Ideas questions

38
U2C1A4 Consensus Ideas
39
Our Consensus Ideas
40
Water, sound and earthquake waves are mechanical waves. They must push or pull on a medium to travel. Frequency, Wavelength Frequency, Pitch Amplitude, Energy Frequency, Energy
