Waves | Baamboozle - Baamboozle | The Most Fun Classroom Games!

When measuring something small, but that repeats many times (such as the wavelength of a water wave), how can you increase the accuracy of your measurement?

Measure multiple and then divide by the number you measured (e.g. measure 10 wavelengths and then divide by 10)
