Sine, cosine and waves
The new wave pool pushes out a wave every 4 seconds, and the water at the wall rises and falls like a sine curve. Where does that curve come from, and how fast does the water move? You'll turn a point around a circle to draw sine and cosine, discover that the slope of sine is cosine, and program the wave machine's speed sensor.
