This wave and electromagnetism assignment is so thorough, it could be used as a unit exam. The first section of it covers wave concepts. The next section addresses static electricity. There is a section that deals with electric circuits....

Groups rotate through a series of stations and work with a partner to observe sound waves. Children describe sound in terms of pitch, volume, and frequency. To apply their new knowledge, the class considers how these observations can...

Here comes the sound. After watching a couple videos demonstrating and explaining the Doppler Effect, learners develop their own understanding of the phenomenon. Scholars draw a sound wave and observe how the perception of the wave...

How loud is the class's hearing threshold? Using a sound level meter, the class members observe how the loudness of sound is affected by distance. Learners continue to study decibels by seeing how different sounds compare to each other...

No need for a knife when a fork will do! Groups of pupils first read about the science of sound, and then experiment with tuning forks. Teams gather information about the pitch and length of their forks and compare them to...

String together how instruments produce sound. Using pieces of string, learners find ways to create sound. They investigate changes to the string and the effect of adding a cup. Finally, pupils experiment by changing the way to create...

Get the ball rolling with this upper-elementary science unit on forces and motion. Offering over three weeks of physical science lessons, this resource is a great way to engage the class in learning about simple machines, friction,...

Physics scholars list the properties of waves and calculate the speed, wavelength, and frequency of waves. The worksheet is concise, but covers a variety of wave computational skills. The formatting is neat, but it does have small...

Physics masters figure out the wavelength of different waves. Looking at a wave graph, they identify different characteristics. Many more problems get them working with both electromagnetic and sound waves. There are a total of 17...

Construct a maze in your classroom and have a blindfolded scientist act as a space rover, maneuvering unfamiliar terrain while another scientist plays commander. Classmates record the number of occurrences of the commander having to...

Pupils pose their hypothesis, they ready their instruments, then record their observations. This is the science of sound instructional activity. They move through 5 stations, each focused on a different element of aspect of sound. Check...

Enhance your unit on sound waves with this word scramble. Fifteen terms are available for physics learners to unscramble. Have them write the definition for each as homework.

Students examine how the mass of water can affect sound vibrations.

Using a karaoke machine, a guitar, and other devices, learners explore the way sound waves travel. Using this hands on approach, learners can get a better understanding of wavelength, frequency, and more.

Students use water filled pipes to play a tune and consider the mathematics behind the sound waves. In this sound wave lesson, students play a tune with water filled pipes. They create a mathematical model to evaluate the wavelengths and...

Students explore connections between non-verbal language and art. In this visual and auditory art lesson, students investigate the science of sound and principles of drawing. They then use various genres of music to directly apply that...

Students investigate sound waves and they build audio speakers. In this audio speakers and sound lesson plan, students explore how to make quality audio speakers. As a team they build their own speakers to have clarity in sound, quality...

Students listen to the book Sense of Sound and discuss the different things that they can hear. In this sound lesson, students listen to the book, and then close their eyes as the teacher makes different noises and the students guess...

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students explore the science of sound as they complete a science experiment in small groups.

Students discuss waves and sound travel. They experiment with tin-can telephones, and telephones made of different materials including paper, foam, and plastic and record their results on an record sheet. Students explain why size...

Students explore the grapheme along with phoneme it represents. The teacher teaches letter reconginition by having the students write the letter and practice the sound. This helps studens investigate the letter faster (p). Students...

Fourth graders explore the concept of echolocation during a unit on whales. They listen to the book and watch the Reading Rainbow video for "Humphrey: The Wayward Whale," explore various websites, and conduct experiments to demonstrate...

Young scholars observe a variety of sounds which can be heard within their schoolyard habitat by sitting quietly by themselves for five minutes, listening, and then recording the sounds around them by drawing them.

Students work in small groups to use everyday objects to create performances inspired by the work of STOMP. They create a system of notation to document the music and movement of a 2-minute performance.
