Make a splash teaching waves with our paper model!
Why do waves form in the ocean? What happens when they reach the shore? These questions are the topic of our Ocean Waves model!
Learn the terminology used to describe waves and why some waves are constructive building up beaches whereas others are destructive and erode the coastline. Understand how the rotation of water changes near the shore. Learn that waves transfer energy not water across thousands of miles of ocean.
