Earth Science  Mr. Ingram

Earth Science News, room 3106, April 23, 2018       Waves will fill up the current week  as students explore the fundamentals of wave behavior.  We've already encountered waves in our study of earthquakes, and wave concepts will soon reappear in the context of the behavior of major global water systems.  This week students will take a concentrated look at the basic wave properties of speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
