Lesson 2: Model Earthquake Movement OR CSD Created Waves Lesson

*Standard 4.3.1 (Waves) isn’t covered in McGraw Hill perfectly. In the past Earthquake movement (Lesson 2) was used to model waves. If this works for you, please continue to use it. If it doesn’t, a CSD created Mini Unit has been created to replace this component from McGraw Hill.

I am learning how to make observations and generate questions so that I can think like a scientist. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can write 2 observations and 1 question about ripples created on water. I am learning about waves so I can describe how they affect the position and motion of objects. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can describe observed patterns of motion from waves.
