    First Week 9B

    Dear students,

    I’m looking forward to meeting you guys. Unfortunately, I can’t be with you today. Please watch the videos below, they can be played in the Clevertouch TV.

    Please click the Registration link.

    Lastly, access the simulation in this link: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/wave-on-a-string. Research standing waves. Can you create a standing wave on the simulation?

    Have fun,

    Mr. Pacios
