Students will design, build, test and optmize their own light-based detector for waves (a simple optical seismometer) and will explore how this detector relates to more sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.

Students will generate and observe waves in a clear pan of water, drawing connections between these waves and light and gravitational waves.

These discussion prompts cover the general properties and types of waves, how humans and other animals detect waves, and the design of laboratory wave detectors.

Students will search the Science News archive for stories related to artificial intelligence, its applications and potential issues.
