Compression and Rarefaction

Today I modeled with a slinky what compression and rarefaction looks like. I also compared the similarities with a slinky and a sound wave. I also asked students to stand up and show me what compressed sound waves look like and I did the same with rarefaction. This website has an illustration and describes compression and rarefaction in more detail.
