Investigating wave fundamentals tutorial project

Your group will be creating a stand alone tutorial on one of the chapter sections below. Past tutorials have been typed documents with diagrams, computer presentations that have animations, videos, music and interpretive dance. See Mr. B if you have thoughts about other topics on waves that you would like to cover.
