Toys are great for learning about physics. Scholars use Slinky® toys to study Newton's laws of motion and types of energy. After a little play, they then model longitudinal and transverse waves with the Slinky® toys.

This physics tutorial features text and animations explaining the particle motion of a medium through which transverse, longitudinal, or surface waves move.

Using their knowledge of physics, students will build a wind chime. Mathematical computations will be done to determine the length of the pipes.
