There is a scallop that relies on sight so much that it actually has more than 100 eyes! There are many species that rely heavily on one sense or another. An online interactive resource has youth read about several of these animals. The...

Learners investigate the nature of a sound wave, sound properties, resonance, musical instruments, and standing waves. The tutorial consists of lessons and problems to check for understanding.

This Franklin Institute webpage provides an introduction to understanding sound waves based on 5th grade science lessons.

Kids learn by experimenting with science. A project showing how sound waves move and propagate.

Kids learn about the characteristics of sound waves in the science of physics including mechanical, longitudinal, pressure, and intensity.

This interactive activity adapted from the University of Utah's ASPIRE Lab provides an overview of the characteristics and properties of various types of waves, including light waves, sound waves, and water waves.

Sound! How does it work? All you need to know about it is found here through a series of Q&As. Educators will find useful lesson plans.

This site has several lessons all about sound. It introduces sound, then covers major principles of waves and the wave equation. Each lesson has interactive activities to keep you interested, and there are even some test questions.

Study the details of sound from characteristics to speed, ultrasound, infrasound, and other aspects of sound waves.

Sound is defined and characterized as a wave consisting of oscillations in pressure of a medium. Includes graphics and links to further information.

Kids learn more about the science and physics of sound. Pitch, acoustics, and the doppler effect. How the frequency of the sound wave affects the pitch we hear.

A discussion on how to locate the sound image based upon the incident and reflected pulse of sound heard at a given location. For those looking for a challenge, follow the links to view derivations of wave equations for sound (uses...

Discover the connection between sound waves and hearing with this webpage tutorial. Be sure to click on the picture for detailed information.

This site offers a variety of everyday activities and everyday experiences in which waves or sound waves play a role.

A physics tutorial on designing an auditorium and solving the problem of sound reflection. Illustrated.

Power, loudness, and decibel levels of sound waves are described and explained. The relative power output of various musical instruments is given.

A detailed discussion on the effect of reflection and absorption of sound waves by walls upon the audio quality of a room. Methods for inspecting the quality of a room are given and discussed.

Kids learn the basics of the science of sound, the speed of sound, and volume. What is sound and how does it move? It is a wave made from the vibration of molecules.

Take this quiz that contains basics questions on light, sound, and color.

A discussion of a variety of physics topics related to music and sound. Topics include vibrations, sound waves, frequency and pitch, resonance and overtones.
