30 Min Learning Intention:

TEpg 94 - 97

I am learning about types of waves so that I can use a model to show different types of waves. Success Criteria: I’ll know I’ve learned it when I can use a spring toy to model a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave and I can label a diagram with wave parts. 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.
