Procedure

1. Make your own wave using the blank wave worksheet (Table 4.2).
   
   1. Draw a wave.
   2. On your wave diagram, include a horizontal and vertical measurement scale in metric units (e.g., meters) along the X- and Y-axes of the worksheet.
       
2. Write five problems about your wave and its properties for someone else to answer. See Question Set: Waves and Wave Properties for examples.
   
   1. Write a problem about wavelength or wave height.
   2. Write a problem about wave speed.
   3. Write a problem about wave period.
   4. Write a problem about wave frequency.
   5. Write a problem about the wave property of your choice.
       
3. Create an answer key for your worksheet by answering the questions you wrote on a separate piece of paper.
    
4. Trade your wave worksheet and problems with a partner.
   
   1. Solve the problems on your partner’s worksheet.
   2. Compare your answers to your partner’s answer key. Correct your answers as necessary.
