	Lessons, activities and demonstrations using the SeisVolE earthquake and volcanic eruption mapping software
		This process stores elastic energy in the coils of the slinky that are compressed (as compared to the other coils in the stretched slinky) similar to the storage of elastic energy in rocks adjacent to a fault that are deformed by plate motions prior to slip along a fault plane in the elastic rebound process.
		Extend each slinky about 3 m and cause P or S waves to be generated simultaneously in both slinkys by hitting the wood block (for P waves) or quickly moving the wood block vertically or horizontally (for S waves).
		The plastic slinky does not propagate compressional or shear waves as efficiently as the metal slinky, but is useful for illustrating reflection and transmission of wave energy at a boundary between two elastic materials with different properties.

	Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Slinky in Hand
		When you move your hands together you make a half-a-wave on the slinky the middle of the slinky is an antinode, a point of maximum motion while the hand-held ends are nearly nodes, points of no motion.
		For the transverse motion of the slinky, at places where the motion of the slinky passes through zero, a node of motion, the slope of the slinky changes the most, an antinode of slope.
		This is the lowest frequency resonance of the slinky held at both ends, it is called the fundamental frequency.

		We handed out slinkies to our wedding guests, and one of my favorite moments of the wedding was seeing my grandmother-in-law and a half-dozen of her friends all twirling their new slinkies around.
		Slinky Pets should run in the $7 range, but they are pretty tough to find—we’ve found them at Toys ‘R’ Us and Target, but not every store had them, and we rarely could find a complete set.
		In fact, my wife is at least as obsessed about slinky hunting as I am, and I owe many of my most satisfying slinky acquisitions to her resourcefulness, persistence and intuition, all of which are presumably spurred equally by our love for each other and for the Slinky.
