Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Pupils discuss sound and how it's measured, and through experimentation and implementation of the scientific method, they determine the speed of sound.

Pupils experiment with measuring the speed of sound in an open field by clapping hands and measuring the time delay between the clap and hearing the sound at a long distance. Students practice solving equations at completion of activity.

Learners investigate the concept of velocity and apply it to the velocity of sound and measure the velocity of sound by measuring the echoes produced in a tube. They show their calculation of time and speed, and then conclude that sound...

Sixth graders use a laser along with computer microphone probeware and the appropriate software, 6th graders determine the speed of rotating objects.An audio amplifier is connected to a solar cell to change the laser light signal into a...

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Several times throughout history, groups of soldiers marching in rhythm across a suspension bridge have caused it to collapse. Scholars experiment with pendulums, resonance, and force to determine why this would happen. First, pupils...

Ninth graders are introduced to the components of compressional and transverse. They practice answering speed problems involving different mediums that waves travel trhough and then review the wave PowerPoint. They then visit physics...

Students create an experiment in which they measure the speed of a wave and record the data in a graph. They work in small groups to write the procedure for the experiment and share it with another group for cross checking of the...

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

Students explore the Dollper effect by finding the frequency and velocity of sound.  In this velocity activity, students determine the impulse during a collision by using their data and a software program.

Fourth graders study about sound waves and how they behave in various media. They create a soundproofed container. They explain that velocity describes a change in distance over time.

My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...

After reading an interesting account of how the X-1 aircraft was designed, built, and utilized, young engineers try their hand at constructing a paper glider version of the airplane. They cut out the plane out of a nicely designed...

Fourth graders are read a story and answer the comprehension questions about sound and wind. In groups, they make their own wind vane and how to determine the direction of the wind. To end the lesson, they make their own Anemometer to...

Students build an anemometer and measure wind speed. In this wind speed lesson, students build an anemometer using the student instruction sheet. Students visit the Alaska windspeed website and look up the wind speed forecast. Students...

Fourth graders study the properties of heat in this series of lessons. They discuss sources of heat and experiment to determine its properties. They identify insulators and conductors by measuring temperatures, and graphing their data....

Students define pitch, measure varying amounts of water into containers, make predictions about the sounds made when striking the containers, put containers in order from highest to lowest pitch, and create their own sound patterns with...

Students recognize, identify and produce words that begin with the /sp/ sound. They decorate objects that have the /sp/ sound with items that have the /sp/ sound. Students create phrases with the /sp/ sound that describe the object...

Students complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson, students discuss wind speed and direction. Students then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a wind meter for...

Students make sensible estimates and check the reasonableness of the answers. Students write and solve problems involving decimal multiplication and division. Students perform calculations with time.

In this health worksheet, high schoolers look for the connections needed to attain the knowledge of cardiac function. The sheet includes the background information.

Middle schoolers determine their reaction time using a ruler. In this Physics lesson plan, students calculate the class' means and variances. They plot the graph and analyze if there are outliers.

Students investigate the world of bees and describe their characteristics. by identifying the bees' parts, they demonstrate how these parts function. In the lab, students dissect bees and view the various parts under microscopes. ...
