in Mr. Bowen's
Science Class?
This is my dog, Ciara (pronounced "key-ra").
The purpose of this webpage is to provide students with updated information regarding my science class and to provide students with interactive extension activities.
CURRENT SCIENCE UNIT: EARTH SCIENCE
Unit EQ: What causes objects to move differently under different circumstances?
 What type of wave does this represent? What characteristics led you to your conclusion? What other examples can you name?
Please note weekly quizzes are given every Friday.
You need to be actively studying 10-15 minutes every night!!!
You can do this by making flash cards, creating a board game,
or having a family member quiz you.
Essential Questions:
1. How does one differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves?
2. How are the parts of a wave similar and different?
