National STEM Centre: Wave Machine Demonstration
edited by the National STEM Centre
This 4-minute YouTube video shows how to build an inexpensive wave machine with gummi candies, wood kabob skewers, and duct tape. Part of the UK's National STEM Centre library, this resource could be used as a warm-up for discussion or as the basis for a low-cost classroom experiment for investigating wave propagation and factors that affect wave speed.
