Activity 2: The Transmission of a RumorRequired materials: A large open space.
Procedure: Arrange the students in a large semi - circle. Whisper a message to the first student in the circle, loud enough so that he can hear it clearly, but quietly enough so that the other students cannot. Have this student then whisper this message to the student next to him, and on and on around the circle. When the last student is reached, have her stand up and repeat the message aloud to the class.
The transmission of the message is similar to the transmission of wave because the message moves around the room without any of the students every leaving their seats.
