LEARNING TARGET:

I will analyze, compare & contrast our four water waves during today's class.

CALENDAR:

I put the water waves unit test on the calendar for tomorrow, let's go ahead and move that 'til Monday since I'm not here today!

WORK O' THE DAY:

Please carve out a large enough piece of butcher paper and spread it across your table. As we often do, please divide that sheet into four equal or mostly equal parts (you don't have to measure).

Elect, appoint or volunteer a project manager to run this program for today. (One of those PMs will make sure that each group in the class has a unique number and when we get up to move around the room, that person will decide whether we move upstream or downstream.

PM's: please meet very, very briefly to appoint a Chief PM

PM's, please appoint or suggest or accept volunteers in your group so that each person sketches one type of wave in their section of the sheet. Sketches in color pencil only, no words no numbers, no text with one person in each group sketching one of the following -- in no particular order:

• tsunami waves
• rogue waves
• 'regular' wind generated waves
• megatsunami waves

Please include a stick figure of a person to provide scale for your sketches

Please number your quadrant of the paper (uniquely!) 1 - 4

Now let's get up and move around the room, either swimming upstream or downstream (the *Chief* PM will decide that) -- be sure to bring something to write with and something to write on.

On your sheet please indicate which type of wave is associated with each quadrant number in each group-- just by looking at the sketch.

Return back to your groups.

One by one, in group # order, the PMs will stand up and announce which number on their sketch corresponds with which type of wave.

Now please work with your team to write bullet points for each type of wave that indicate typical values (or more likely range of values) for each of our 4 main wave characteristics for each of our 4 types of waves on our chart).

Chief PM - Please get everyone up and walking to review the sketches. Bring something to write with and write on and compare what you see at other tables with what you sketched.

Chief PM - Please lead a class discussion to reach consensus on wave characteristics for each of our 4 types of waves.

If time permits:

Work with your team to develop a comprehensive compare and contrast analysis between each of those four types of waves.

That will be critical in preparing for our test on Monday
