Water on the Move: Wind and Waves
written by the Science Learning Network
This webpage from the Science Learning Network provides directions for a simple activity that shows how the water moves as a wave passes by. Only everyday materials are needed. A diagram shows how water moves when a wave goes by and also what happens when waves break on a beach.
