Based on our KWL, fourth graders had some questions about waves, including what caused them in the first place. So with a container of water and some rocks, fourth graders went to town discovering how they could generate waves as well as make waves of different sizes. We'll be officially defining the parts of waves, identifying relationships between what causes them to happen. We'll also be looking at waves as regular patterns of motion, connecting our learning to their recent study of energy in science! |
