Learners practice locomotor movements while pretending to be "firemen" at "fire stations". In this movement lesson, students stand in hoola hoops representing their fire station. They practice 8 different locomotor movements while...

Learners practice reading fluency and reading with expression. They develop reading fluency using timed reading. Students read "Arthur's Reading Race" and record how far they read in one minute. They repeat the reading in order to see...

Students examine different dinosaurs and what groups they belong in. Educational software is used to guide the lesson.

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders focus on the weather. Students respond to ten multiple choice questions about various aspects pertaining to our weather.

Students listen to the song, The Wheels on the Bus, then change the words for a boat.

Students practice reading with expression and improved fluency. After discussing how reading with fluency and expression can enhance the text, students listen as their partner reads a story with expression. Individual students read...

Students practice reading with expression. After discussing how reading with feeling and expression can enhance the reading experience, students listen as the instructor reads a story with expression. Students complete a read with the...

Students respond to motion cues from the "Fire Chief" (teacher). For this physical education lesson, students participate in a fire safety game which promotes locomotor skills.

First graders are introduced to correct form in jumping and landing and then perform these activities to rhythmic music.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define pitch; describe the relationship between the speed of sound, its frequency, and its wavelength; describe the effects on the speed of sound as it travels through various media; and...

Using a measurement technique called measurement and uncertainty, students will measure the speed of sound. Students need to use a microphone and Vernier LabQuest to record and measure the sound of a finger-snap echo.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What the speed of sound is and its variation in different media, and the effect of temperature on the speed of sound.

Physics tutorial on measuring the speed of sound in dry air. An interactive form allows the student to practice solving problems involving the temperature dependence of the speed of sound.

Students discover factors that affect the speed of sound waves through a medium with illustrated examples and interactive practice problems.

Educational resource provides a physics tutorial on the speed of sound. Learn more about it and then check your understanding at the end by taking a quiz.

In this physical science lab, students will calculate the speed of sound. They will observe that the speed of sound is constant, regardless of wavelength or frequency, and see the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Physiclips thoroughly presents the concept of sound with animations and film clips. Learn about the properties of sound and the physics behind sound waves with this site.

Discusses the physics of how sound travels. Includes a video of a volcanic eruption that demonstrates the speed of sound waves.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, and calculate the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

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

Discusses the characteristics of sound waves and the conditions that affect the speed of sound.

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...
