Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Study Jams! Sound
Listen in as Mia and Sam expound on sound. It is caused by vibrations and travels in waves. It has the qualities of pitch, frequency, and volume. This hip animation displays a graph to depict the frequency and amplitude of sound waves....
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Reflection
Reflection is the bouncing of waves. Reflection can be used simply as entertainment or to guide ocean navigators. As your physics aces begin learning about waves, this resource would be valuable to show them that all of the different...

Sounds Like Great Science!
A phenomenal lesson on sound is here for your third graders! In it, learners engage in hands-on activities, watch video, take part in Internet activities, and complete tasks in cooperative groups in order to explore the world of sound...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Seeing and Feeling Sound Vibrations
Groups rotate through a series of stations and work with a partner to observe sound waves. Children describe sound in terms of pitch, volume, and frequency. To apply their new knowledge, the class considers how these observations can...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
The Doppler Effect
Now this is a very good demonstration of the Doppler Effect and how it works. A police car with its siren blazing is filmed as it travels closer and then farther away. The effect is explained through text and an illustration. Good video.

4 Save, Export, and Delete in Audacity
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...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Propagation of Sound
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...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Can You Hear the Change in Pitch?
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 by. This...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Waves
Light waves and sound waves are the focus of this science instructional activity designed for 5th graders. Besides discovering how these waves travel, learners also discover the basic properties of waves, and analyze data tables and...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Sounds like Science
Second graders create sound effects to produce a radio drama. In this sound activity, 2nd graders read a book and provide the sound effects to transform it into a radio drama. They discuss sound and the shape of sound waves based on...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Sound Waves
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...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
MusicÕs True Form
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.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Telecommunication: Sound Waves
Some interesting diagrams here will pique your students' interest as they discover what is actually inside the telephone that they use every day! The frequency and amplitude labels then lead to further details about sound and waves of...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Standing Waves and Music: Suggested Demonstrations
There are four embedded links in this brief resource that take you to handouts or worksheets that assist young musicians in understanding standing sound waves. They'll play their instruments to show and then discuss different sound waves.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Plumbing the Deep-Using Sound Waves to See
Learners explore and learn about the concept of echolocation. For this echolocation lesson, students explore how animals and engineers use echolocation (seeing under water) and sound waves to look and hear things under the deep water.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Audio Engineers: Sound Weavers
Students explore audio engineering. In this career education and "sound" science lesson, students define related vocabulary and make connections between the music they listen to and the job an audio engineer does after listening to...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Sound
Third graders explore sound. They describe sounds in terms of their properties and explain how sounds are made. Students discuss how various sounds sound to their ears and how sound travels in waves.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Sound Waves
Using a karaoke machine, a guitar, and other devices, learners explore the way sound waves travel. Using this hands on approach, learners can get a better understanding of wavelength, frequency, and more.
