Learning about waves can have its ups and downs, but a demo-packed tool kit has the class "standing" for more! Learners gain experience with several different wave types, organizing observations and data, and wave...

Challenge your young readers with a passage about physical science. After reading about sound waves and electric currents, kids answer five reading comprehension questions about what they have read.

Physics is like music—practice makes perfect! Challenge your class using an interactive that builds harmonic skills. The engaging lesson from a playlist exploring sounds and waves revolves around wave behavior in closed-end air columns....

Ever wonder what really goes on inside a clarinet? Show your young scientists the physics of open-end air columns through an easy-to-use interactive. Learners examine the features of standing waves and calculate frequency and length in a...

Since light travels faster than sound, some people may appear bright until you hear them speak. The presentation covers what sound is, how fast it travels in various mediums, properties of sound, hearing, and the parts of the human...

Don't string your class along! Physics scholars discover the fascinating forces behind the music of stringed instruments using an interactive. From a series covering sounds and waves, the interactive asks users to identify nodes and...

In this music activity, 11th graders incorporate fractions into their music scales and counting scales. They listen to the music being played and relate it to sine waves reviewing the trig function. There are 11 questions involving sine...

An animation briefly explaining how vibrations create sound waves.

A video and a short quiz on how sound travels in waves, its properties, and how to measure it.

This lesson teaches students about how sound vibrations are transmitted through solids, liquids, and gases, and about how materials may absorb sound.

This lab is designed to help students visualize distance between two synchronized sources that will lead to constructive and destructive interference.

It might sound like science fiction, but if you press on a crystal of sugar, it will actually generate its own electricity. Ashwini Bharathula explains how piezoelectric materials turn mechanical stress, like pressure, sound waves and...
