Eighth graders investigate the acoustic properties of materials in order to develop soundproofing products.  In this soundproofing lesson students research different resources, design and perform experiments and fabricate, test and...

Students explore sound waves. In this sound wave lesson, students determine the path traveled by sound waves in an acoustic room. Students consider how sound travels and reflects, then they calculate the rate sound travels at.

In this science worksheet, students perform an investigation about sound waves and vibration. Students use a pan of water and toothpicks to make and observe ripples. Students answer 4 essay questions about their observations.

In this salt moving worksheet, students move salt with rubber bands, plastic, cans, and more, but don't touch it. Students follow 5 directions and answer 2 questions, and relate this to sound waves.

For this sound wave worksheet, 3rd graders record what occurs when they make a stethoscope out of a hose and funnel. They listen to a classmate's heart and let the student listen to theirs.

In this sound worksheet, students use materials such as string, cups, paper clips and more to observe the vibrations made. Students then record their results.

In this sound energy worksheet, students predict what happens when bats bounce sounds off of walls to communicate. Students complete 2 questions.

Students use many different materials and resources in order to study and identify sounds that are loud or soft, high or low, pleasant or unpleasant.

First graders study heat and light and how they come from various sources. They list sources of heat and light and identify the different energy sources as heat, light, or both heat and light.

Fifth graders investigate the relation between vibrations and pitch. They observe and discuss an experiment involving a bicycle and a piece of cardboard in the spokes, listen to a comb with cardboard, and listen to various sounds and...

Students form an understanding that there are many different types of sound. The core concepts are presented in the most basic form for elementary school. Also students investigate how sound travels.

Students make predictions about how sound is formed. They view and discuss a video that explores sound formation and attempt to identify the origin of different sounds.

Students view video clips about sound and vibrations, explore how sound travels, and create their own sound waves.

In this black hole worksheet, students use an x-ray image and a sound waves image to determine the size and the wavelength of the sound wave. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Third graders distinguish between changes in pitch. They interpret and analyze different pitches being sounded at the same time. Students recognize and analyze a different style from a different ensemble. They listen to different melodies.

Students discover the basic principles of circuits by designing and testing some of their own. They are told that circuits usually have a power source such as a battery and a resistor such as a light. Students make a circuit using a...

Students demonstrate sound waves and make changes in the waves resulting in changes in pitch. Students associate changes in pitch in various "musical instruments"with size and shape and the sound waves they produce.

Students will be able to describe the process by which we are able to hear sound. They also will be able to distinguish different sound intensities. They then use Probeware to prove their hypothesis.

Learners explore phonemes in spoken words as well as their corresponding graphemes in written words. They practice the short vowels /i/ and /e/. Students perform activities to practice sounds. They identify pictures with a particular...

First graders listen to prerecorded sounds and put them into categories. They discus the sounds that would be heard outdoors, and indoors. They go outside for a few minutes and take a "hearing walk." Then they come inside and close their...

Second graders study how sound is produced by vibrations and is transmitted through matter in all directions. They observe how sounds are produced and identify the ways in which sound travels.

Young scholars identify how the pitch of an instrument can be altered. They complete a worksheet by labeling several images in order of pitch and then fill a bottle with water to create a sound that matches a pitch on a drawn card.

Students discuss how their five senses help to identify objects. They select items from a mystery box and with their eyes closed they attempt to identify the object. They give answers in complete sentences.

Students perform 3 hands-on activities to help them explain the terms "crest" and "trough" as related to sound, water, and light waves. All three waves types have troughs and crests. The activities use toys to demonstrate the properties...
