In today's class we did a lab called, "Waves on a Snakey." The purpose of this lab was to investigate properties of waves using a snakey (slinky) as a model. After Mrs. Kozoriz explained what we were going to do, she distributed the materials we needed and we broke into groups and got started. The entire class was spent with everyone crouching on the floor and watching in amazement as two people stretched the slinky, and by making quick sideways snaps with our wrist, we created the waves that traveled down, hit the other side, and reflected back. While doing so we had to observe the waves and think about what was happening to the amplitude and the speed of it as it traveled. My group didn't have much trouble, although we debated whether or not the pulse did in fact bounce off each other or pass through. We did ponder on what the meter stick and stop watch was used for, but other than that everything was fine.
Along with this lab we were given a worksheet that should be completed and handed in TOMORROW! And.. I think thats it. I don't know what else to put so I'll end it here.
The next scribe was picked by random so congratulations 'kaleiscool'! You're next! Have fun!
