lab report

guiding question:how will the wave effect the needle and the paper?

hypothesis:i think that when i do the disturbance the needle will fall from the paper and float alone whit out the paper under it.

materials:tub,water,needle,paper.

waves made byhand
trial 1the needle sank whit the paper
trial 2it sank again
trial 3i saw it was not working





conclusion:at the end of a lot of trials i understood that it was not working so my lab did not work at the end so i gave up.

Wave simulator reflection

I learned new things whit that site. It was cool looking at waves and sound and light. I saw in the waves pert that some of the waves were bigger and some smaller. It was really interesting looking at the amplitude of the wave and the frequency. It made me understand better what was a frequency and amplitude of the wave. I first started playing around with it to see what could it do whit that. At the end I got the habit of using it and I started looking at the graph, the frequency level and the amplitude of the wave.
