Description
"Waves: Energy on the Move" is a middle grades science book (reading level 6.4) by Darlene R. Stille that explains the properties and behaviors of different types of waves. The book describes how waves transmit energy through various mediums such as water and air, and examines their practical applications including radio broadcasting, cell phone technology, medical imaging, and astronomical research. It demonstrates that while all waves are forms of energy in motion, they do not all move and behave in the same way.
