Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. The image below shows small ripples, or waves, moving through water in a pond. BOLD the description below that you think describes the motion of a wave most accurately. A. Each wave consists of a set of water molecules moving outward from the center. B. When a wave passes, water molecules move up and down before returning to near their original position. 2. Waves have crests (high points) and troughs (low points). The wave...
