No need for a knife when a fork will do! Groups of pupils first read about the science of sound, and then experiment with tuning forks. Teams gather information about the pitch and length of their forks and compare them to...

Here comes the sound. After watching a couple videos demonstrating and explaining the Doppler Effect, learners develop their own understanding of the phenomenon. Scholars draw a sound wave and observe how the perception of the wave...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Resonate with the class. By watching a couple of videos, pupils realize that sound waves require a medium to travel and can break glass. They then listen to a lecture on resonance and work through a lab to calculate the speed of sound...

Strike the right chord with a musical activity! Instructors provide a lecture on the mechanics of a pan flute. Pupils build their own pan flutes by using straws and calculating the lengths to create a scale. After cutting the straws to...

It's the encore to a wave unit. Individuals build either a slap tube, flute, or xylophone as a culminating activity for a physics unit on waves. Scholars calculate the lengths of pipes needed to produce the specific notes for their...

MAD about statistics? In the seventh chapter of an eight-part seventh-grade workbook series, learners develop probability models and use statistics to draw inferences. In addition, learners play games and conduct experiments to determine...

In this circuits activity, students answer 44 questions about audio tone control circuits, twin-tee filter circuits, and other types of passive filter circuits, their impedance and their design.

In this class C amplifiers worksheet, students compare different classes of amplifiers, they explain each class and they write an equation that predicts the amplifier frequency of a class c amplifier given a schematic...

In this Doppler weather radar worksheet, students read about radar and Doppler weather radar and answer three questions about how they work and the Doppler effect.

In this Bohr model activity, students read about Neils Bohr and the model he proposed of the atom. Students answer nine questions about his theory that electrons travel in orbitals and give off energy when they are excited.

In this harmonic motion and light activity, high schoolers review concepts such as identifying motion as harmonic, linear or wave motion, analyzing graphs of position vs. time and pendulum movement, answering questions about light and...

In this online interactive adverbs worksheet, students review what adverbs are and how they are used in sentences. Students take a multiple choice pop quiz online in regards to 10 specific questions about adverbs.

Students research and analyze sound waves and how an ultrasound works to image a baby in utero. They explore various websites, complete worksheets, and write a paragraph describing a demonstration they view in the classroom.

Students define and examine the connections between sound and music and how engineers design instruments. They listen to examples of musical instruments, view a demonstration of a tuning fork and bottles filled with varying amounts of...

Pupils detect the waveform of musical notes to determine the code for the "safe" in this forensics simulation lesson. They use a microphone and tuning forks along with Vernier EasyData on their graphing calculator to analyze five musical...

In this interpolating function activity, students solve 7 different sets of problems that include determining the interpolating function of each. They write out the equations to interpolate with a constant sine and cosine terms. Then,...

In this bar graph worksheet, students read about making quality bar graphs and they make a bar graph using given data. They answer 5 questions about their graph.

In this harmonic motion worksheet, students read about repetitive motion, the parts of harmonic motion, and graphing harmonic motion. Students then complete 5 matching and 20 fill in the blank questions.

In this harmonic waves instructional activity, students review the characteristics of harmonic traveling waves by solving 5 different problems.

In this probability and statistics worksheet, 9th graders analyze and interpret histograms as they identify trends in the data.  The two page worksheet contains four problems.  Answers are provided. 

In this wave properties worksheet, students will experiment to see how the sound made by vibrating a ruler is affected by the length of the part that is vibrating. Then students will answer 5 questions based on the results of the...

In this observation worksheet, students practice writing a plan for observing waves including the instruments used, the objective of the observations and the process used to collect data.

In this standing waves instructional activity, students read about standing waves, their nodes, their anti-nodes and their wavelengths. They are given diagrams of harmonics and the equation to find the frequency of harmonics. Students...
