Participants will develop a model of mechanical waves and explore methods that maximize reasoning. This mechanical wave model gives students an in-depth understanding of waves as a mechanism of energy transfer and foreshadows the scientific practices described in the new Framework for K-12 Science Education. Grade level 9-12.
