Analysis
With the slinky, it is quite nick to get the pupils to draw (using chalk) on the floor or table (wherever the demo is being done) a wave length, amplitude to create 1, 2, 3, ... cycles per second and link period with frequency. The ripple tank should be done using a cork to demonstrate the motion of the waves.
