This resource from Glenbrook High School in Glenview, Illinois explains and illustrates the nature, properties and behaviors of waves. The unique nature of a standing wave is also introduced and explained. Each lesson resembles the type and extent of coverage given to that physics topic in class. The sub-lessons are accompanied by Check Your Understanding sections, providing an opportunity to assess understanding of the lesson material. Educational levels: High school
