Checkpoint 2 Science Review

A bathtub is filled halfway with water, and a toy boat is placed on tope of the water to float, demonstrating how waves in water transfer energy. How could we improve this model?

• The tub could be filled with less water.

• The tub could be filled with more water.

• A straw could be used to blow air toward the surface of the water to create waves to move the toy boat.

• Use a larger toy boat.
