We were inspired by the warmer summer months for this segment of Science Sunday. We are talking all about waves today, and to do so we are going to use a wave tank created by STEM Educators right here at the Connecticut Science Center. When we turn on the wave tank and create waves in our water, what do you think will happen to a ball we place right in the middle of the waves? What direction will it travel in? Record your guesses and see if you were right by watching the full Science Sunday segment below.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
