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...

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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...

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.
