- Abstract
The article reports on the classroom demonstration of wave processes using string apparatus that aims to develop student understanding of its properties. A web site that displays animations of wave travels was set ease the measurement of the properties. In the activity, the students rotated different stations to help them understand the transverse and longitudinal waves, frequency, wavelength and amplitude. The demonstrators used tsunamis in the curriculum to stimulate the interest of the students and provide focus in the discussion. The demonstration was successful and students were asked what they have learned about the demonstration and the works of research scientist.
