Item description

What creates ocean waves? Through exploration, students learn that moving air, or wind, often causes waves. Students use straws and their breaths to experiment with wind strength and create waves in a model ocean.

This lab focuses on how wind-driven waves occur in the ocean

According to data, ocean waves are larger and stronger due to climate warming

Classroom Tested

  • PS4-1:  Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
