a great project idea
let’s start
The mini wave model is small but mighty. With just a few minutes of set-up, it’s just as good at demonstrating as its bigger siblings. This is a great model for waves that move, reflect, stand, and wiggle, perfect for a starter project in classrooms learning about waves and motion.
What: Mini Wave Model
Concepts: waves, propagation, physics
Time: ~15 minutes to set up
Cost: ~$1.50
Materials:
Bolts x 2 (with nuts that fit)
Nuts x 40 (or so)
Sticks (I used candy sticks, but cut dowel or other sticks work great, too)
