Energy
Waves lesson - great tutorial for extra help
Waves simulation - interactive help to understand concepts of frequency and amplitude
Online Tone Generator - good way to help students understand about frequency and Hertz
Wave properties:
Reflection,Refraction, Diffraction - Informational text
Interference - good interactive tool for practice and understanding
