Seimic Waves
What do you need?
You can demonstrate how seismic waves travel by using a Slinky
Have a friend hold one end of the slinky while you hold the other. Use a pen or pencil to add pressure to your end of the slinky. You just sent a P wave through the slinky.
Have a friend hold one end of the slinky very still. Give your end a quick shake side-to-side. Watch the S wave travel through the slinky.
How are P and S waves different? How are they similar?
