Contribution Description
Title	Wave Modeling and Wave addition (Inquiry Based)
Simulations	Fourier : Mengkontruksi Gelombang
Keywords	Graphing, superposition, math, phet activity, sine, function
Description	I have divided the learning goals into two activities. 1 Wave Representation Learning Goals: Students will be able to think about waves as a function of time, space or space-time and explain why waves might be represented in these different ways. 2 Superposition of Waves Learning Goals: Students will be able to: Define harmonic, determine the relationship between the harmonics; Explain the relationship between harmonics and the corresponding wave function; Predict what happens when more than one wave is present. These activities are designed to follow my activity using Waves on a String
