I went to this website, which was a wave simulator. Here is what I found:
The wave simulator is a virtual sink where you can control the speed of the water dripping (the frequency) that that creates the waves, and also the size of each drip (the amplitude). I noticed that when I increased the frequency, the wavelength shortened, and when I increased the size of the drips, the waves became more defined and the amplitude increased. This was pretty fun to play with, but I know from doing my lab, this is just a virtual demonstration and things don't work quite as conveniently or consistently in the real world. Also, recording waves from above is difficult.
