Modeling the Big Bang Theory
Young astronomers learn about the Big Bang Theory and redshift through a hands-on activity in the last installment of a three-part series. Participants draw dots on balloons and then inflate them to model how galaxies moved farther apart...
LABScI
Acoustics: The Sound Lab
If the delay between a sound and its echo is less than 1/10th of a second, the human ear can’t distinguish it. Through the use of a Slinky, rubber band guitar, and straws, scholars explore where sound comes from and how it travels....
Curated OER
Super Gelatin
Pupils investigate the refraction properties of gelatin to calculate its index of refraction. They discover that as the light travels through the gelatin, its speed and wavelength also change. Students find th indes of refraction of an...
Curated OER
Galaxy Mapping
Learners research the constellations and discuss their findings. Then they construct their own maps of the galaxy using paper, black paint, aluminum foil, etc. They make a 3-D map of their chosen constellation.
Curated OER
Simple Machines: The Wede & Lever
Students describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. In this physics lesson, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these simple machines.
Curated OER
Determining Red-Shift in a Receding Star
Young scholars practice manipulating algebra formulas with more than one variable. They examine the topics of velocity, wavelength and frequency. They determine the amount of red-shift in a receding star.
Curated OER
Red Shift, Blue Shift
Learners demonstrate how stellar spectra measures a star's motion relative to Earth along the line of sight.
Curated OER
How Do The Colors of Light Mix?
Students investigate the mixing of light. They form a hypotheses to reason why color changes occur and they write conclusions and ask new questions arising from the investigation. Students identify the primary and complementary colors of...
Curated OER
Chemical and Physical Changes
Eighth graders investigate different gas behaviors. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe how changing volume and temperature affect gas particles motion. They collect data and make a generalization about these variables'...
Curated OER
Reading the Waves
Students view video segments which reveal the parts of sound and what factors control sound. The viewing and post-viewing activities serve to reinforce the video segments using worksheets and hands-out experiments.
Curated OER
E3 Project Instructional Plan: Light
Eleventh graders investigate the nature of light. In this physics instructional activity, 11th graders determine how light intensity varies with the distance of the light source.
Curated OER
Sizing Up Hail
Young scholars participate in an estimation and measurement activity to improve their estimates of the size of hail. They hold several different sized wooden balls and record their guesses of the ball's diameters. They compare their...

Texas Gateway: Physics of Hearing: Doppler Effect and Sonic Booms
By the end of this section, you will be able to define Doppler effect, Doppler shift, and sonic boom; calculate the frequency of a sound heard by someone observing Doppler shift; and describe the sounds produced by objects moving faster...
Texas Education Agency
Texas Gateway: Wave Behavior: Doppler Effect
Given diagrams, scenarios, or illustrations, students will identify the characteristics of the Doppler effect.
Pennsylvania State University
Kettering University: Doppler Effect and Sonic Boom
Incredible set of animations demonstrating the Doppler effect and shockwaves resulting from supersonic aircraft.
University of New South Wales (Australia)
University of New South Wales: School of Physics: Physclips: Doppler Effect
