Crave the Wave Websites

The Science Olympiad competition Crave the Wave is a tough one. The first thing we do is build a notebook for the event, which can be brought into the competition. The kids use notebook dividers to separate the topics and then fill it with sample waves, graphs, definitions, etc. The following websites will get you started in the study of waves, whether you do Science Olympiad or not.
