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...

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...

If you chew or make a "raspberry" while viewing an LED light source, the light will appear to wiggle or flicker. It is not because of the light itself, but because of the vibration of your skull! Have your physics class give this a try...

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.

Learners identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be

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

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.

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

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.

This lesson plan is designed to teach young children about how sound is heard in a three-step process using the Magic School Bus materials.
