The Place to Start: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Visit the three websites below. On the second and third pages called What Is a Wave and Categories of a Wave, you need to complete ALL of the Check Your Understanding questions. You should copy the questions (using Paste Special, then select Unformated Unicode Text) and type your own answers (including an explanation) to each question in a Word document. Make sure the answers are your OWN, but be sure to check them with the answers provided on the website. When you are done, upload the document to your wiki portfolio page, and print out a copy to turn in to Mrs. Flynt.
