Description
In this lesson, from Xpeditions, students learn the components of a wave then discuss the effects of wave height, wavelength, and wave period in determining the overall size of a wave. They use the National Geographic Wave Simulator to experiment with creating different kinds of waves. Discussion then focuses on the effects of geography on wave size as well as additional forces on boats trying to navigate waves.
