Waves on a String - PhET & Tuva

Lesson

Introduction This lesson integrates the Waves on a String simulation from PhET with the Tuva tools. Modifications to this lesson can be made to meet the needs of different classes. Standards Addressed (NGSS): MS-PS4-1 Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave. HS-PS4-1 Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. Timing: 45 min - 1 hr 30 min
