About this worksheet
This label parts of a wave worksheet gives every student a clear path to mastering the anatomy of a transverse wave. A large, uncluttered wave diagram with four numbered arrows anchors all three differentiated versions, so the whole class works from the same visual while each student gets the right level of support.
Three star-coded versions included:
- ★ Support — students match word bank terms (crest, trough, wavelength, amplitude) to the numbered arrows.
- ★★ Practice — students name each part from a function clue, with no word bank.
- ★★★ Independent — students name each part, then complete a set of word-bank statements that build the amplitude–energy and wavelength–frequency relationships.
The diagram deliberately measures wavelength trough-to-trough, quietly countering the misconception that wavelength can only be measured crest-to-crest, and shows amplitude from the rest position — not trough to crest. A teacher overview page summarizes the levels for easy assigning, and compact answer keys are included for all three versions.
Aligned to NGSS MS-PS4-1. Perfect for introducing mechanical waves, differentiated practice stations, sub plans, or quick assessment in grades 6–8.
