Installment four of the nine-part series on using Audacity describes saving, exporting, and deleting podcasts you've made. If you read the excerpt under this video as it comes on you're screen you'll notice a web link. This takes you to...

This short video explains the two types of waves involved in sound wave propagation. Very simplistic computer animations support the verbal explanation. You could embed this video into your high school physics PowerPoint or SmartBoard...

This video concerning the Doppler effect lasts only about 10 seconds. It begins with the question, "Can you hear the change in pitch?" and records from one spot, the sound of a car coming closer, closer, closer, and then passing...

This non-narrated video shows the effect sound waves have on a chlandni plate full of sand. Watch the sand morph into different patterns based on the frequency played. Ironically, this sound waves video has no sound! Have your physics...

Long, rippled, plastic tubes are swung around in circles, making air pass through them, and creating sound waves. This is a simple and inexpensive toy that you can let learners experiment with as they learn about sound and pitch. Go...

Have your learners create noise makers using this video clip. Instructions are given for making a noisy toy with a craft stick, string, a rubber band, and double-sided sticky foam tape. This activity can kick off a discussion of sound...

The true form of music is explained in 45 seconds. Viewers will learn that it is enjoyed by people and is made up of sound waves. A short yet accurate description of music.

This interactive quiz from the NOVA Web site features an array of interesting facts about the nature of sound underwater.

A video explaining how a speaker produces sound by transporting energy through the medium. [3:45]

An interactive exploration into the world of sound waves and other properties of sound.

In this video segment, adapted from ZOOM, a tuning fork's vibrations are made visible as ripples in a bowl of water. [0:51]

This video segment presents a variety of sounds -- from animals to machines to musical instruments -- while introducing the basic concepts of vibration, volume, and pitch. [2:36]

This video segment, adapted from NOVA follows a team of enthusiasts and scientists who attempt to find a trace of the Loch Ness monster by scouring the lake with sonar. [5:24]

This video segment, adapted from ZOOM, explores how sound waves travel differently through air than through solids like a yardstick, a baseball bat, and a golf club. [1:46]

This teacher playlist demonstrates the Sound Waves unit investigations where the students investigate how sound travels.

This student playlist demonstrates the Sound Waves unit investigations where the students investigate how sound travels.

Narrated animation that visually explains how an object vibrating produces sound. (30 secs) Uses QuickTime.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the wavelength of a standing wave is determined by the boundary length and frequency of the wave. The fundamental frequency has a wavelength double the boundary length. Harmonics are built on the...

Discover sounds when Quack gives Chirp the silent treatment, and Chirp gets stranded in a puddle. [8:50]

We learn a lot about our surroundings thanks to sound. What is sound? And how does it travel? And what is this Doppler Effect that we've heard so much about? In this video episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the...

Music plays a big part in many of our lives. Whether you just like to listen or you enjoy playing an instrument, music is powerful. So what is music? How does it work? What are the physics of music? In this video episode of Crash Course...

How do seismologists actually see the images in the layers of Earth below us? Find out in this video clip. [0:46]

New Zealand musician Nigel Stanford showcases audio frequency visualizations in this music video. [5:52]

This video segment, adapted from ZOOM, explores how sound waves travel differently through solids than through air, in this case, a metal clothes hanger. [1:14]
