EXPERIMENT 1 “ Making Waves”

Procedure:
1. Get a basin of water. Place it on top of a table. Wait until the water is still.
Then, dip your finger up and down repeatedly in the water. What happens to
the water surface? Describe what forms on the water surface
- While dipping my fingers repeatedly, and my fingers pushes water
out of the way, I observe that in the surface of the water, the water
has nowhere to go but to the side and up, creating a circular peak
around my fingers, there are small waves form. These waves formed
while doing the experiment is called ripple effect.
2. Get a ruler. Dip it in water horizontally with an up and down motion. Watch
what happens.
- When I dipped the ruler in water horizontally with an up and down
motion the ruler seems to bend, and the image of the rulers appears
to be broken.
3. Make a toy boat out of wax paper or any plastic toy that floats. Let it float in
water. Observe the motion as you dip your finger up-and-down in water.
Describe the motion of the toy boat.
- The toy duck follows the motion of the wave. It moves around the
ripple formed as I dipped my fingers up and down.
