In science class our new topic is waves. Today in school we got to investicate with water waves and how objects interfere with it. We would also drop little amount on water and then would looking at the patter the wave shows us. This is one site which can kind of demonstrate what we did today in class.
Some of us from the start new the patterns the wave is going to make, although when you put objects in its path the whole pattern changes forming into something amazing. We also found out that when you put 2 drops of water into the water that the wave is going to become smaller rather then bigger, which was kind of a surprise to me before i actually thought about it then it made sense. Today we also got to learn some new words which seemed familiar to me. These words were wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. One important fact which i learn about these words and their meanings is that if the frequency and the amplitude are both high, there is going to be a problem with the people who are riding on the open seas that day. This is a perfect website showing this information

Today we learned a lot about a topic which i would have never expected to go into this much depth. Today was very fun and a good way to start this week.
