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.

How do water ripples model earthquake movement?

● aluminum pan with water ● Ruler ● Cork ● spring toy (like a slinky) ● modeling clay ● masking tape ● Slinky/Toy Spring
