If you take a long spring/slinkie, and stretch across a table or the floor by holding it at either end and making a quick up down movement with your arm you can send a wave down the slinkie. The height of the wave can be determined by the power of the shake
I hope this helps, it was demonstated in Physics to us

How can a slinky toy demonstrate the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
What are the stretched out parts in longitudinal waves called?
Rarefaction.
Echoes demonstrate which behavior of sound waves?
Reflection.
What type of medium does waves on spring has?
The spring is their medium.
How are transverse stationary waves produced in a stretched string?
When a transverse progressive wave gets superimposed by the reflected wave then stationary transverse waves are produced

What toy is used to demonstrate seismic waves?
Slinky!

When sitting on a bed the springs demonstrate which property of mechanical waves?
the mechanical waves that it is demostrating is refraction
What type of medium does waves on spring has?
The spring is their medium.
What is used to model waves?
Toy spring.
How are transverse stationary waves produced in a stretched string?
When a transverse progressive wave gets superimposed by the reflected wave then stationary transverse waves are produced
When light waves are stretched by an object moving away from us?
Doppler effect Red Shift
Which wave type moves faster along the spring?
Well... waves on springs are caused by mechanical energy. You can't, for example, sent radio waves along a spring and see them. So answer: mechanical waves.
When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively compressed and extended what waves is produced?
Electromagnetic Waves
What tools is used to model waves?
Toy spring.
