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

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.

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.

The University of Hawaii has published a vast collection of midterm and final exams for their Physics 152 course. This particular exam offers a variety of assessment methods, and covers the topic of electromagnetic radiation....

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...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson, they practice identifying low and high pitches and playing...

A radio receives radio signals, converts them to an electrical signal, then converts this signal to a sound signal, and amplifies the sound so people can hear it. Class members use this information to create a short-wave radio antenna...

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.

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

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...

Young scholars grasp how underwater animals can "see" using sound waves. They practice making inferences, and build a conceptual understanding of sonar radar.

In this how the ear receives sound worksheet, students examine and follow a flow chart to view the process of how sound travels within the human ear. Students place the flow chart in chronological order.

Students discover ways to make sounds louder to their ears.

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,...

Ninth graders explain waves in terms of energy transfer and describe their basic types and characteristics. They solve mathematical problems involving wavelength and frequency. Students conduct experiments in reflection and refraction.

Young scholars compare and contrast the properties of salt water in the oceans/seas and freshwater elsewhere on the planet. They also analyze mixing caused by currents in the ocean, including the effects of warm and cold water as well as...

In this reading learning exercise. learners assemble an illustrated 8 page beginning reader booklet. The story is about a sea bird who meets a whale with the same idea for playing in the waves.

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.

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

Students explore the music from Burundi, Zimbabwe, and Pygmy cultures. They listen to and discuss music from the African cultures, analyze the musical elements, write a song, and perform music.

In this recognizing words with long vowel sounds worksheet, students read the words and color the letters with long a and silent e patterns. Students color 8 words.

Young scholars participate in a problem-solving activity, that includes Internet research, about how energies such as currents, waves, tides, etc. affect the ocean.

In this frequency activity, students use the speed of sound to determine the frequency in which sounds are heard in 5 different word problems.

Students recognize the letter h in print and the phoneme /h/ in spoken words. They say a tongue twister with contains words emphasizing the /h/ sound. They then listen to the story "Horton Hears a Who" and identify the words with the...
