A Wave Moves Energy, Not Water

A Wave Moves Energy, Not Water is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Waves & Energy Transfer in Amplify Science (California) Grade 4.

Key Concepts

Waves require a substance to travel through, which is called a medium . Whether this medium is a liquid, solid, or gas, its behavior remains consistent: it acts as a carrier.

As the wave passes, the particles of the medium vibrate temporarily to pass the energy along, but they do not travel with the wave. This distinction is crucial: the pattern of motion travels long distances, but the particles of the medium stay relatively local.
