The demonstration tank is a simplified simulation of the Hydrologic Cycle, explain why.Observe and discuss any surface water or groundwater conditions and explain what is happening and how it is being simulated.

Using the Ripple Tank we will demonstrate various wave patterns and functions that will include: spherical waves, plane waves, interference of waves, and reflection & diffraction. Diffraction is equivalent to refraction or the bending or changing of a wave path (e.g. water, light, energy…). Observe, make comment and then draw and support conclusions, if any.
