This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

Online physics lab experiment in which students use resonating waves inside of a closed-end air column to determine the speed of sound. The form allows students to check their answers and receive immediate feedback.

Explore bats' navigation systems by experimenting with echolocation. Approximate an object's distance by analyzing reflected sound waves, measuring the delay in sound and calculating the ratio to the speed of sound.

Can you measure the speed of sound? Find out for yourself using this site's question and answer format.

An easy experiment through which students explore sound waves while tapping their fingers on a desk or table in a quiet room.
