1. Make your foldable after finishing your Roadrunner Challenge
Fold your paper in half like a hotdog and then into 3 sections.
Open up your foldable and label each section.

2. Write in headings cut and paste notes

3. What is a Wave?
Waves are any disturbance that transmit energy through matter or empty space.
Waves transfer energy by the vibration (moving back and forth) of particles in a medium.
A medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
Types of waves: transverse and longitudinal

4. Parts of a Wave
-rest position: the point where the particles of a medium stay when there are no disturbances -amplitude: the maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest position. -crest: highest point of a transverse wave -trough: lowest point of a transverse wave -wavelength: the distance between two crests or compressions next to each other in a wave. -frequency: the number of waves produced in a given amount of time.

5. TYPES OF WAVES SEE DRAWING ON THE BOARD

6. TRANSVERSE WAVES -particles vibrate up and down (move across or perpendicular) to the direction of the wave. -made up of crests and troughs -example: waves made from shaking a rope up and down

7. LONGITUDINAL WAVES -particles vibrate back and forth (parallel) to the path that the wave moves -made up of compressions (crowded particles) and rarefactions (spread apart particles) -example: waves created by pushing a slinky or spring toy back and forth
