3. Review important vocabulary:

Amplitude - The measure of the displacement of the wave from its rest position. The higher the amplitude of a wave, the higher its energy.

Frequency - The frequency of a wave is the number of times per second that a wave cycles. The frequency is the inverse of the period.

Sound wave - Sound waves are mechanical waves that are caused by a vibration. Sound waves can be heard by our ears.

Wave - A wave is a traveling disturbance that moves through space and matter. Waves transfer energy from one place to another, but not matter.

Wavelength - The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two corresponding points on back-to-back cycles of a wave. For example, between two crests of a wave.

4. Play the following games and complete the sound wave drawing activity.
