Content Objective
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the properties wavelength and amplitude of waves by labeling both, on diagrams of transverse and longitudinal waves.

P.EN.07.32 Describe how waves are produced by vibrations in matter.

Language Objective
Students will be able to write about wavelength and frequency after watching video clips, class demonstrations, reading in the text and taking notes.
