This learning cycle features nine videotaped experiments, organized sequentially for introducing fundamentals of harmonic motion and waves. Each video includes learning goal, prior knowledge required, and post-activity questions. Topics include period and amplitude, transverse and longitudinal wave motion, and motion of a pendulum. The instructional method is based on cognitive apprenticeship, in which students focus scientific process by observing, finding patterns, modeling, predicting, testing, and revising. The materials were designed to mirror the activities of scientists when they construct and apply knowledge.
