But why do I care, Ms. Torres?
Waves transfer sound and light. Without them, you wouldn’t SEE or HEAR anything!A world without waves would be a dark, silent place.

Vocabulary to Know
What is a wave?
A wave is a type of energy.Waves transfer sound and light.
Examples:In the Ocean In the Clouds Earthquake

What do we call the tops and bottoms of waves?
The top of the wave is the CREST. The bottom of the wave is the TROUGH.

What is amplitude?
Amplitude is the height of the wave. It is how high and how low the waves go.
Vocabulary to Know
How high
does it
go?
How low does it go?

Comparing Waves
Let’s go back and write comparison statements for each example.
Comparison statements answer this question:
What is Wave A’s amplitude and frequency compared to Wave B?
