Students are modeling waves by shaking a rope up and
down. We know this is a wave because–
the rope stops moving when the students stop shaking it up and down.
the student can change the distance the rope moves by moving the rope further up or down.
the rope is made up of strands of cotton threads which are braided together.
it has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency and amplitude.
