Introduction to Electromagnetic & Mechanical Waves for Middle School or older NGSS MS-PS4-2, HS-PS4-5 PS4.C

  • 2 months ago
This video is designed to help introduce Middle School students (or older students) to electromagnetic and mechanical waves. We define a vacuum, physical medium, transverse waves, longitudinal waves and give common examples of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.
