If you chew or make a "raspberry" while viewing an LED light source, the light will appear to wiggle or flicker. It is not because of the light itself, but because of the vibration of your skull! Have your physics class give this a try...

In this sound worksheet, students complete 4 investigations to explore sound. These include the use of a rubber band, a blown up balloon, a piece of notebook paper and a tuning fork with a foam ball, string and pushpin. Students answer...

For this earthquake worksheet, students fill in 9 blanks with given terms related to earthquake fault zones, earthquakes and safety related to earthquakes. They also answer 4 questions about earthquake zones, building codes and highway...

In this shock absorption worksheet, student read about bicycle design and how it effects shock absorption. They answer three critical thinking questions about bicycle design which make a bike ride smooth.

Students experience vibrations using several of their senses, and design a test that uses their sense of hearing to judge the effectiveness of different solids to transmit sound vibrations.

Learners play their own straw kazoos and understand that vibrations are responsible for the sounds we hear. Additionally, they learn that sound vibrations can travel through different mediums. Students experience vibrations through...

Second graders explore the concept of sound. In this sound lesson, 2nd graders discover what sound, vibrations, and pitch are through several experiments. Students watch a Power Point presentation that allows them to complete a graphic...

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.

Students create instruments to demonstrate their understanding of how the science of vibrations is used to create sounds.

Students explore how vibrations create sound by strumming a rubber band. They feel the vibration of their own vocal chords. Then they explore the motion of sound waves and echoes. They rely on their own hearing to locate others in their...

Seventh graders participate in a number of activities designed to increase their understanding of how sound is generated and how it travels.

Students recognize that sound is produced by the vibration of materials. They see that the sound produced is dependent on the type of material that is used. Given four types of material; air, string, wood, and metal, students perform an...

Students see, and thus better understand, the vibrations that sound makes through this simple project.

In this hearing worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the steps between matter vibrating and hearing the sound.

Third graders examine items that make sounds. When given craft sticks, 3rd graders practice making different sounds with them. Sticks are rubbed together or placed partially on a desk and plucked. Afterward, students discuss the types of...

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.

Students explore and create sound wave vibrations using musical instruments and common objects. They compare/contrast and describe actions that cause sound wave vibrations that can be seen, heard, and felt.

Third graders study sound waves and vibrations. They sing a silly round in three parts.
