Wave Dynamics and Animal Communication

Scientist Rachel and her team of young scientists explore how animals communicate using patterns and how waves transfer information. They conduct experiments with ropes and springs to understand wave motion and introduce the concept of 'source' as the origin of waves. The lesson aims to answer how waves transfer information and how sound travels from one place to another.
