Module 14 Shallow Waves
Race

Here's a practical and simple exercise that isolates the affects of water depth on wave behavior, thus minimizing the confusion often inherent in the understanding of wave physics.

Lesson Plan: Check out this lesson plan that tells you what you need and how to do the demonstration.

Audio: Listen to a real teacher explain techniques to help perform the lab demonstration and how it relates to physical oceanography.
